Psalms 76 — Thou, Even Thou, Art To Be Feared
Summary
In Judah is God known. There brake he the arrows of the bow. Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep. Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God.

Key doctrines
The Right Fear of God
Psalm 76:7 · Luke 12:5 · Isaiah 8:13
Application
Verse 7 corrects misplaced fear. The verse shrinks every other terror by setting it next to His.
Christ in this chapter
Christ is the One in whom the fear of the Lord is met by His own gentleness. The fearsome God comes near in the Saviour.
Thou, even thou. The emphatic doubling. God Himself is to be feared, not the threats around us.
A reorientation of fear. The chapter's enemies were fearful; God is fearsome.
