JFB: Psa 76:7 - may . . . sight

Contend with Thee (Deu 9:4; Jos 7:12).

Clarke: Psa 76:7 - Thou, even thou, art to be feared

Thou, even thou, art to be feared - The Hebrew is simple, but very emphatic: אתה נורא אתה attah nora attah , "Thou art terrible; thou art."The repetition of the pronoun deepens the sense

Clarke: Psa 76:7 - When once thou art angry?

When once thou art angry? - Literally, From the time thou art angry. In the moment thy wrath is kindled, in that moment judgment is executed. How awful is this consideration! If one hundred and eighty-five thousand men were in one moment destroyed by the wrath of God, canst thou, thou poor, miserable, feeble sinner, resist his will, and turn aside his thunder!

Calvin: Psa 76:7 - Thou, even thou, art terrible

7.Thou, even thou, art terrible The repetition of the pronoun Thou, is intended to exclude all others from what is here predicated of God, as if it had been said, Whatever power there is in the world, it at once vanishes away, and is reduced to nothing, when He comes forth and manifests himself; and, therefore, He alone is terrible. This is confirmed by the comparison added immediately after, which intimates that, although the wicked are so filled with pride as to be ready to burst with it, yet they are unable to abide the look and presence of God. But as he sometimes keeps silence, and seems merely to look on as an idle spectator, it is expressly asserted, that as soon as he begins to be angry, ruin will be near all the wicked. Although they may then for a time not only stand, but also rise above the clouds by their fury, we are here, notwithstanding, admonished that we ought to wait for the time of wrath. Let us also mark that this terror is denounced against the wicked in such a manner as that it sweetly draws all true believers to God.

Poole: Psa 76:7 - Stand in thy sight

Stand in thy sight to wit, to contend with thee. Standing is here opposed to flight or failing before the enemy. See Jos 7:12 Dan 8:4 .

Haydock: Psa 76:7 - Heart // Scopebam

Heart. Septuagint have read differently from the present [Hebrew]. (Berthier) ---

Hebrew, "I recollected my canticle in the night, and communed with my own heart, and my spirit sought to the bottom;" or, "I swept, (or directed, scopebam ) my spirit," (St. Jerome) from all things unbecoming. Septuagint Greek: Eskallon. "I dug and harrowed" it by earnest meditation, to extract the weeds, and make it fit to receive the divine seed, (St. Jerome, here and ep. ad Sun.) and to bring forth fruit; (Haydock) or I swept to discover the precious jewel (Berthier) of salvation. (Haydock) ---

Scopebam, is not deemed a good Latin word; but seems to be derived from Greek: skopeo, "I consider or direct my aim;" though some think it means rather," I swept," Isaias xiv. 23. Hugo reads scopabam. (Calmet) ---

I diligently examined my conscience, (Worthington) and left nothing unturned, like the woman in the gospel who sought the groat. [Luke xv. 8.] (Menochius) ---

Hebrew yechapes, may also mean, "my spirit is set free, " to say what might seem too bold, Will God, &c. (Calmet)

Gill: Psa 76:7 - Thou, even thou, art to be feared // and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry

Thou, even thou, art to be feared,.... By his own people with reverence and godly fear, because of his greatness and goodness; and to be dreaded by his enemies; which seems to be the sense here, as appears by what follows:

and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? or "from the moment thou art angry" ^b; so the Targum, from the "time", and Jarchi, from the "hour": that is, as soon as ever his anger begins, when it is kindled but a little, and how much less when it burns in its full strength? there is no standing before his justice, and at his judgment seat, with boldness and confidence, and so as to succeed, or come off acquitted, without having on his righteousness; and much less is there any standing before his wrath and fury, when his hand takes hold on judgment to execute it; see Nah 1:6.
