Psalms 76:10
Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.
BSB
ASV
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.
KJV
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee. It shall not only be overcome but rendered subservient to thy glory. Man with his breath of threatening is but blowing the trumpet of the Lord's eternal fame. Furious winds often drive vessels the more swiftly into port. The devil blows the fire and melts the iron, and then the Lord fashions it for his own purposes. Let men and devils rage as they may, they cannot do otherwise than subserve the divine purposes. The remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. Malice is tethered and cannot break its bounds.
The hardships which God's people suffer by the wrath of their enemies are made to redound to the glory of God and his grace; and the more the heathen rage and plot against the Lord and his anointed the more will God be praised for setting his King upon his holy hill of Zion in spite of them, Ps. ii.
Man's wrath praises God by its futility before His power. restrain--or, "gird"; that is, Thyself, as with a sword, with which to destroy, or as an ornament to Thy praise.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
