Context of Psalms 76:11

9This happened when you came to punish wicked people. You came to rescue the weak and poor people in the land. Selah. 10Everybody will praise you, even those who are angry against you. You will show them how angry you really are. Make promises to the Lord your God, and do what you have promised. Everyone who serves God should bring gifts to him. We must respect him with fear. 12He makes proud rulers become humble. All the kings of the world should be afraid of him.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-12Verses 7-12 God's people are the meek of the earth, the quiet in the land, that suffer wrong, but do none. The righteous God seems to keep silence long, yet, sooner or later, he will make judgment to be heard.
