Context of Psalms 76:10
8You are awesome, yes You are! Who can stand in Your presence once You are angry? 9From heaven You pronounced judgment. The earth feared and was still— when God rose up to judgment, to save all the humble of the land. Selah 11For wrath upon man will bring You praise, a remnant of wrath You put on as a belt. 12Make vows to Adonai your God and fulfill them. Let all around Him bring tribute to the One who is to be feared.

- 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.
