Context of Psalms 76:10
8You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was still, 9When God arose to judgment, To deliver all the oppressed of the earth. Selah Surely the wrath of man shall praise You; With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself. 11Make vows to the Lord your God, and pay them; Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared. 12He shall cut off the spirit of princes; He is awesome to the kings of the earth.

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.
