The unexpected judgment of kings by the unlooked-for Judge
Psalm 76 is extremely simple in its application to the judgment
of the kings, who come up against Jerusalem in their pride, and
find, unlooked for, the Lord Himself there (compare Micah 4:11-13
and Zech. 12:2; Zech. 14:3-4). The judgment of God is rehearsed,
and God is now celebrated as having His dwelling-place in Zion. He
is the God of Jacob and known in Judah: His judgment was heard from
heaven. The long-despised Zion is more glorious than the mountains
of prey, the high places of human violence. The earth feared, and
was still, when God arose to judgment, and to help all the meek
upon the earth.
