Psalms 76:4-6

Psalms 76:4-6

[4] Thou art more glorious  and excellent  than the mountains  of prey.  [5] The stouthearted  are spoiled,  they have slept  their sleep:  and none of the men  of might  have found  their hands.  [6] At thy rebuke,  O God  of Jacob,  both the chariot  and horse  are cast into a dead sleep. 

What does Psalms 76:4-6 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The description of God as resplendent pictures Him as radiating light. He illuminates and glorifies by His presence. He is also more majestic than the mountains of Israel that contained an abundance of wild game animals. God"s defeat of Israel"s enemies was so overwhelming that they appeared anesthetized (cf. Isaiah 37:36).
