Context of Psalms 76:5

3There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah 4Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains full of prey. The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands. 6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned. 7But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused?
