What is the meaning of Psalm 76:10? Even the wrath of man shall praise You “Even the wrath of man shall praise You;” (Psalm 76:10a) • God never loses control. Human anger, rebellion, and violence are real, but He bends every outburst toward His own glory (Genesis 50:20; Proverbs 16:9; Acts 4:27-28). • When Pharaoh raged, Israel walked out free, singing praise on the far shore of the sea (Exodus 14:4, 18, 31; 15:1-2). • Herod and Pilate’s fury nailed Jesus to the cross, yet their wrath opened the way for redemption and worldwide worship (Acts 2:23; Colossians 2:14-15). • Instead of being threatened by human hostility, believers can stand in awe: every hostile plot ultimately adds another note to the anthem of God’s majesty (Psalm 2:1-4; Romans 8:28). with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself “with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.” (Psalm 76:10b) • The “survivors of wrath” are the remnants left after God has finished judging evil. He gathers that remnant and wraps Himself in the display of His righteous victory (Isaiah 10:22-25; Nahum 1:2). • God not only limits the reach of human fury; He turns the very residue of it into a robe that proclaims His power and holiness, much like He “puts on righteousness as a breastplate” (Isaiah 59:17) or appears “clothed in a robe dipped in blood” at His return (Revelation 19:13-16). • By restraining wrath, He protects His people and preserves a testimony to His mercy (Habakkuk 3:2; Romans 9:22-23). The rescued ones themselves become living evidence of His triumph, shining like jewels in His crown (Zechariah 9:16-17). summary Psalm 76:10 announces that God so rules the universe that even mankind’s fiercest opposition ends up serving His praise. He curbs what He must, uses what He wills, and then adorns Himself with the proof—redeemed people and restrained wrath—so that every tongue will declare His supremacy. |
