Salmos 76:1-2

Ps 76 This psalm appears to celebrate a victory. The victory might have been recent, such as over the Assyrians (see note on 76:title; see also Isa 37); or the psalm might be recalling God’s great acts of rescue in the past. 76:title to be accompanied by stringed instruments: The Greek version reads for the Assyrian. 76:1-3 God’s victory over Zion’s enemies foreshadows his worldwide victory over all his enemies.

Salmos 76:3

76:3 God brings an end to the attacks of his enemies (see 46:9).

Salmos 76:4-6

76:4-6 The psalmist praises God for his achievement and for his glorious majesty. 76:4 The victorious king’s splendor, glory, and majesty are greater than anything in the created order (8:1; 29:4; 111:3).

Salmos 76:7

76:7-9 The needy await their victorious God, while the wicked stand in fear of him. 76:7 The word translated feared (Hebrew nora’) is a wordplay on the word translated “glorious” in 76:4 (Hebrew na’or).
