Discovery BoxPsalms 76:7-9 
Context76:7 You are awesome! Yes, you!
Who can withstand your intense anger? 1
76:8 From heaven you announced what their punishment would be. 2
The earth 3 was afraid and silent
76:9 when God arose to execute judgment,
and to deliver all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)
1 tc Heb “and who can stand before you from the time of your anger?” The Hebrew expression מֵאָז (me’az, “from the time of”) is better emended to מֵאֹז (me’oz, “from [i.e., “because of”] the strength of your anger”; see Ps 90:11).
2 tn Heb “a [legal] decision,” or “sentence.”
3 tn “The earth” stands here by metonymy for its inhabitants.
