Psalms 76:8
From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still
BSB
ASV
Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,
KJV
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
From heaven thou didst make judgment to be heard. Thou didst speak from heaven, all the people heard and trembled: and yet they did not believe in thee. The earth feared and was still. But Israel neither feared nor was still.
Thou - Didst execute judgment upon thine enemies, by an angel from heaven: which is said to be heard, either because it was accompanied with thunders and earthquakes, or because the fame of it was quickly spread abroad.
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven. So complete an overthrow was evidently a judgment from heaven; those who saw it not, yet heard the report of it, and said, "This is the finger of God." Man will not hear God's voice if he can help it, but God takes care to cause it to be heard. The echoes of that judgment executed on the haughty Assyrian are heard still, and will ring on down all the ages, to the praise of divine justice. The earth feared and was still.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
