Notes

Psalms 76:4–6

The psalmist praises God for his achievement and for his glorious majesty.

Psalms 76:1–12

This psalm appears to celebrate a victory. The victory might have been recent, such as over the Assyrians (see note on 76:1; see also Isaiah 37). Or, it might be remembering God's great acts of rescue in the past.
