Context of Psalms 76:7

5The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands. 6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry? 8Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still, 9When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

Commentaries on Psalms 76:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Thou, even thou, art to be feared - The Hebrew is simple, but very emphatic: אתה נורא אתה attah nora attah, "Thou art terrible; thou art."

How awful is this consideration! If one hundred and eighty-five thousand men were in one moment destroyed by the wrath of God…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7Thou, even thou, art to be feared - To be had in reverence or veneration.

We live in an angry, provoking world; we often feel much, and are apt to fear more, from the wrath of man. What will not turn to his praise, shall not be suffered to break out. He can set bounds to the wrath of man, as he does to the raging sea…Read the comment
