Psalm Ps. 76. This hymn celebrates Zion as the place God has chosen to dwell, and the capital of the people he has chosen to bless and protect. It is a companion to Psalms 46; 48; 87; 122. The congregation that sings this psalm will marvel at the privilege of going to Zion and worshiping there.
Ps. 76:1–2 The Maker of heaven and earth, to whom all mankind belongs, has chosen one people, Judah (which represents all Israel), and one particular spot, called Salem (an old name for Jerusalem, Gen. 14:18) or Zion, to be his dwelling place.
Ps. 76:3–9 The past-tense verbs show that this psalm is particularly geared to celebrating an occasion in which God protected Zion from Gentile invaders (broke, stripped, stunned). Verses 6–9 trace the victory to God’s rebuke, his judgment, and his plan to save all the humble of the earth (the faithful among his people).
Ps. 76:10–12 The wrath of man shall praise you, that is, the way that God defeats their schemes leads people to acknowledge God’s rule. the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt. This probably means that the last futile efforts of human wrath are so insignificant that God could use them as a decorative accessory.
