Psalms 76:11-12

Context

76:11 Make vows to the Lord your God and repay them!

Let all those who surround him 1  bring tribute to the awesome one!

76:12 He humbles princes; 2 

the kings of the earth regard him as awesome. 3 

1 tn The phrase “all those who surround him” may refer to the surrounding nations (v. 12 may favor this), but in Ps 89:7 the phrase refers to God’s heavenly assembly.

2 tn Heb “he reduces the spirit of princes.” According to HALOT 148 s.v. II בצר, the Hebrew verb בָּצַר (batsar) is here a hapax legomenon meaning “reduce, humble.” The statement is generalizing, with the imperfect tense highlighting God’s typical behavior.

3 tn Heb “[he is] awesome to the kings of the earth.”
