Summary: How Majestic Is Your Name
Psalms 76 - "How Majestic Is Your Name"
I. GOD - THEIR DESIRE - 1-3
His Revelation - 1 In Judah is God known:
His Reputation - his name is great in Israel.
His Residence - 2 In Salem also is his tabernacle,
1. His Place - 2 In Salem also is his tabernacle,
2. His Presence - also is his tabernacle,
3. His People - and his dwelling place in Zion.
His Refuge -
3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
His Defence is Sure, Seen and Celebrated.
1 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home;
2 Under the shadow of thy throne, Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone, And our defence is sure.
II. GOD - THEIR DELIVERER - 4-7
His Majesty - 4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
The Source of His Majesty - 4 Thou art more glorious
The Depth of His Majesty - more glorious and excellent
The Height of His Majesty - than the mountains
The Length of His Majesty - the mountains of prey, more than the everlasting mountains
His Might -
The Merry are Spoiled - 5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep:
The Mighty are Spent - and none of the men of might have found their hands.
The Militant are Spurned -
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
His Mastery - 7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
His Person - 7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared:
His Presence - and who may stand in thy sight
His Provocation - when once thou art angry?
III. GOD - THEIR DEFENCE - 8-10
The Source of Judgment -
8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven;
The Severity of Judgment - the earth feared, and was still,
The Scene of Judgment - 9 when God arose to judgment,
The Sense of Judgment - to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
The Sum of Judgment - 10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:
The Silence of Judgment - the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
IV. GOD - THEIR DELIGHT - 11,12 -
To God Belong -
All Payments - 11 Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God:
All Praises - let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. (10 lepers) where are the nine?
All Punishments - 12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes:
All Powers - he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
