Psalm 76: God's Home

Psalm 76 is an expression of praise to the Lord - all the while noting that God has chosen to dwell among Israel.  We hear these specific geographic references to God in this psalm: "In Judah" (vs. 1), "in Israel" (vs. 1), "in Salem" [Jerusalem] (vs. 2), "in Zion" (vs. 2), and "of Jacob" (vs. 6).  Again and again, the psalmist drives home the point that the Jews enjoy a special relationship with the God of the universe - a fact that other kings and nobles ought to keep in mind!
