Psalms 76:12

Context

76:12 He humbles princes; 1 

the kings of the earth regard him as awesome. 2 

1 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.

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