Context of Psalms 76:7
5The stouthearted were plundered, They sank into sleep; And none of the warriors could use his hands. 6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep. You, even You, are to be feared; And who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry? 8You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was still 9When God arose to judgment, To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7Thou, even thou, art to be feared - To be had in reverence or veneration.

He can set bounds to the wrath of man, as he does to the raging sea…Read the comment
