Commentaries on Psalms 76:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee - The rage of Sennacherib shall only serve to manifest thy glory.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee - It shall be the occasion of praise; or, honor shall accrue to thee from it, “as if” it were employed in thy praise, and “as if” it were voluntarily engaged in promoting thy glory.
