What is the context?
The God whom no one can withstand rises to judge and save the lowly. The earth becomes still before Him.
Human wrath cannot finally overthrow His praise. Vows and tribute acknowledge a rule greater than princes and earthly kings.
The fear described here belongs with protection for those without power. The song does not invite the strong to call their own rage God’s judgment.
How is this passage commonly understood?
Wesley reads the remainder of human wrath as restrained by God. The BSB instead speaks of God clothing Himself with the survivors of wrath. Both readings emphasize divine mastery, but they should not be treated as identical wording.
Where does this fit in God's plan?
Acts 17:24–31 develops the wider theme of God’s judgment by naming the risen Jesus as the appointed Judge. Paul calls everyone to repentance. This is not a direct quotation of Psalm 76 or permission for believers to carry out divine vengeance themselves.
