Context of Psalms 76:5

3There he broke the flashing arrows, the shields and the swords, the weapons of war. 4You are radiant with light, more majestic than mountains rich with game. The valiant lie plundered, they sleep their last sleep; not one of the warriors can lift his hands. 6At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both horse and chariot lie still. 7It is you alone who are to be feared. Who can stand before you when you are angry?
