Psalms 76

Psalms 76:3

There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle.

There did he discomfit the mighty host of Sennacherib; and confounded them in their military projects, and defeated their bloody executions.

Psalms 76:4

Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

O God, thou shewedst thyself more mighty than all the forces of those Assyrians, which dwell upon the mountains; yea, than the strongest powers upon earth, though seconded with the advantage of the steep and rocky mountains.

Psalms 76:5

The stout-hearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

The mighty warriors, that came up against Jerusalem, are spoiled, and have slept their last sleep, even in death; neither could any of those great champions be able to resist the destroying angel.

Psalms 76:10

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

Thou caust and dost so order the matter, that, from the spite and malice of thine enemies, thou shalt take occasion to win praise and glory to thy name; even their mischief shall, in despite of them, glorify thee; in that those judgments, which their malice draws from thee, shall cause others to acknowledge and magnify thy power and justice; and, for the sequel, thou caust and wilt so restrain their power and tyranny, that they shall do no further mischief to thy people.
