Psalm 76
1. A declaration of God's majesty in the church
11. An exhortation to serve him reverently.














(10) Surely.--The text of this verse as it stands is unintelligible--

"Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee;

The residue of wrath Thou shalt gird Thyself with."

But the LXX. and Vulg. suggest the necessary emendation--

" Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee,

And the residue of wraths do Thee honour,"

where the residue of wrath, like Virgil's reliqui? Danaum ('n. 1:30), means those that escape the enemies' rage, i.e., the Israelites. Possibly we should render, "and those who remain from their wrath shall celebrate a festival," since the suggested emendation is the word used in that sense. And we must therefore think of the escape of Israel from Egypt (see above), and the festival which was so repeatedly announced to Pharaoh, as the purpose of their exodus. (See Burgess, Notes on the Hebrew Psalms.)

Verse 10. - Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee. The sentiment is general, but no doubt there is a special reference to the recent deliverance. The "wrath of man," i.e. man's wicked fury and hostility of God and his people, shall give occasion for great deeds on God's part - deeds which will bring him praise and honour. The remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. Either, "the unexpended fury of thine enemies, that which they have not vented, thou wilt hold in check, and prevent from doing mischief;" or else," with thine own unexpended wrath wilt thou gird thyself against the wicked, as with a weapon." (So Kay, Cheyne, and the Revised Version.)
