Notes

Psalms 76:7

feared: The Hebrew word nora’ sounds like the Hebrew word na’or, translated "resplendent," in Psalm 76:4.

Psalms 76:7–9

The needy await their victorious God, while the wicked stand in fear of him.

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.
