Psalms 76:1
ContextFor the music director; to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of Asaph, a song.
76:1 God has revealed himself in Judah; 6
in Israel his reputation 7 is great.
1 sn Little Benjamin, their ruler. This may allude to the fact that Israel’s first king, Saul, was from the tribe of Benjamin.
2 tc The MT reads רִגְמָתָם (rigmatam), which many derive from רָגַם (ragam, “to kill by stoning”) and translates, “[in] their heaps,” that is, in large numbers.
3 tn Heb “they”; the referent (God’s people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Heb “it.” The third feminine singular pronominal suffix probably refers to “Zion” (see Pss 48:12; 102:14); thus the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 sn Psalm 76. The psalmist depicts God as a mighty warrior who destroys Israel’s enemies.
6 tn Or “God is known in Judah.”
7 tn Heb “name,” which here stands metonymically for God’s reputation.
