Psalms 76:7

"At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep."

Key Reflection

This verse illustrates how God's command can instantaneously subdue even the mightiest forces, symbolizing that divine authority brings about submission and defeat where none seemed possible. It foreshadows the ultimate sovereignty of God over all earthly powers and threats.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Thou, even thou, art to be feared -To be had in reverence or veneration. The repetition of the word “thou” is emphatic, as if the mind paused at the mention of God, and remained in a state of reverence, repeating the thought. The particular “reason” suggested here why God should be had in reverence, was the display of his power in overthrowing by a word the mighty hosts that had come against the holy city. And who may stand in thy sight -Who can stand before thee? implying that no one had the power to do it.
