KJV
Read in Psalm 76Meaning

Judgment that saves the humble
The verse portrays divine sovereignty over weapons, rulers, fear, and judgment while centering the rescue of the humble.
Read carefully
Psalm 76 is ancient Zion poetry that celebrates God disarming violence and saving the humble; it is not a mandate for modern nationalism or war.
