Context of Psalms 76:5

3There he destroyed all the weapons of our enemy, their arrows, their shields, and their swords. He destroyed everything that they use to fight wars. Selah. 4God, you are the one who shines with glory! You are greater than the greatest mountains. You won against brave soldiers, so that we robbed them of everything. Now they are sleeping, and they will never wake up! They are completely helpless. 6God of Jacob, when your enemies heard your battle cry, both the horses and their riders fell down dead. 7Yes, everyone is afraid of you, our God! When you are angry, nobody can stand against you.
