Psalms 76 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
God is described as returning to His dwelling-place in Zion from the mountains where He has overthrown His adversaries (v. 1~6 ). Another figure is introduced which represents God as uttering sentence from heaven upon His enemies, while the earth is hushed in silence (v. 7~9). Then explains how God gains glory even from the rebelliousness of men (v. 10). And verses 11~12 call the whole world to render Him the homage which is due to His terrible majesty.

This psalm is about God breaking the power of the enemy. It is about the breaking of the power of Assyria or the king of the North, by the appearance of the LORD, that is the Lord Jesus. The presence of the Lord Jesus in the city of the great King (Matthew 5:35) is the response of God to the power of the enemy. From that time on Jerusalem is given the name "The LORD is there." (Ezekiel 48:35).
