Context of Psalms 76:10
8From heaven you announced what their punishment would be. The earth was afraid and silent 9when God arose to execute judgment, and to deliver all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah) Certainly your angry judgment upon men will bring you praise; you reveal your anger in full measure. 11Make vows to the Lord your God and repay them! Let all those who surround him bring tribute to the awesome one! 12He humbles princes; the kings of the earth regard him as awesome.

The deliverance of the people by the direct interposition of God in the case referred to in the psalm, the sudden and entire overthrow of the invading forces by his power, led to this reflection.

- 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. 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.
