What does Psalms 76:1 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 76:1-2
Psa 76:1-12. On Neginoth--(See on Psa 4:1, title). This Psalm commemorates what the preceding anticipates: God's deliverance of His people by a signal interposition of power against their enemies. The occasion was probably the events narrated in 2Ki 19:35; Is 37:1-28. (Compare Psa 46:1-11).
1-2. These well-known terms denote God's people and Church and His intimate and glorious relations to them.Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset & David Brown, 1871 · public domain
Adam Clarke's Commentary
Introduction
The true God known in Judah, Israel, Salem, and Zion, Psa 76:1, Psa 76:2. A description of his defeat of the enemies of his people, Psa 76:3-6. How God us to be worshipped, Psa 76:7-9. He should be considered as the chief Ruler: all the potentates of the earth are subject to him, Psa 76:10-12. The title, "To the chief Musician on Neginoth, a Psalm or Song of Asaph." Sae the titles to Psa 4:1-8 : and 6: The Vulgate, Septuagint, and others have, "A Psalm for the Assyrians;" and it is supposed to be a thanksgiving for the defeat of the Assyrians. The Syriac says it is a thanksgiving for the taking of Rabbah, belonging to the children of Ammon. It is considered by some of the best commentators to have been composed after the defeat of Sennacherib. That it was composed after the death of David, and after the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah were separated, is evident from the first verse. If Asaph was its author, it could not be the Asaph that flourished in the days of David but some other gifted and Divinely inspired man of the same name, by whom several others of the Psalms appear to have been composed during the captivity. Verse 1 In Judah is God known - The true God revealed himself to the Jews. The Israelites, after the separation of the tribes, had the same knowledge, but they greatly corrupted the Divine worship; though still God was great, even in Israel.Adam Clarke, 1831 · public domain
