Psalm 76
1. A declaration of God's majesty in the church
11. An exhortation to serve him reverently.














(2) Salem.--The LXX. and Vulgate translate "his place was in peace," and possibly the poet may use the word Salem with the thought in his mind of the peace won by God for Judah, or, again, it may be only a poet's preference for an ancient over a modern name; but the identification of the Salem of Genesis 14:18 with Jerusalem is too doubtful to allow much weight to this view. (See the whole question discussed in Sir G. Grove's article on "Salem," in Smith's Bibl. Dict.)

Tabernacle . . . dwelling-place.--These renderings quite obliterate the image, which is that of a beast of prey crouching ready for its spring. Translate,

"In Salem is his covert,

And his lair in Sion."

and for these meanings of the Hebrew words sokh and meonah comp. Psalm 10:9; Jeremiah 25:38; Psalm 104:22; Amos 3:4. . . .

Verse 2. - In Salem; i.e. Jerusalem. "Salem" was probably a shortened form of the full and complete name, like "Peer" for "Baalpeor," "Maachah" for "Aram-Maa-chah," "El Kuds" for "Beit-el-Kuds," and the like. (So Professor Cheyne.) "Salem" is the peaceful place, the place where God's presence breathed peace and tranquillity. It is only used here and in Genesis 14:11. Is his tabernacle; literally, his tent (comp. Psalm 15:1; Psalm 27:5, 6; Psalm 61:4). The temple is meant, as even Professor Cheyne sees. It took the place of the original "tabernacle," and was modelled upon it. And his dwelling place in Zion; or, "his lair" (comp. Psalm 104:22).
