Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 76:12

He shall cut off the spirit of princes - That is, He will cut down their pride; he will break them down. Luther renders it, “He shall take away the wrath of princes.” The allusion is to what he had done as celebrated in this psalm. He had shown that he could rebuke the pride and self-confidence of kings, and could bring them low at his feet.He is terrible to the kings of the earth - When they are arrayed against him.(1) they are wholly under his control.(2) he can defeat their plans.(3) he can... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:1-12

Psalms 75-76 Exalting God, not selfIn a psalm designed for use in public worship, the congregation begins by thanking God for all his mighty deeds (75:1).

Therefore, the wicked should not be proud or stubborn like an ox that struggles against its master (4-5). The only exaltation that matters is that which comes from God. The opinions of... read more
