Apologetic Defense of the faith, the Bible, and Christianity
Psalm 76 was written upon some such occasion as the destruction of Sennacherib. It celebrates a great deliverance brought by the power of God; a deliverance beyond all expectation, brought by God alone.
In the Bible several different Hebrew and Greek words are used to denote anger. Anger is an intense emotional reaction, sometimes directly expressed in overt behavior and sometimes remaining a largely unexpressed feeling. The word normally used in the Bible to refer to an emotion considered sinful. All of us have gotten angry. Should we vent our anger or should we contain it? How can God's Word help?
Many believe that anger is a part of the wickedness of man, but it is not. Anger or righteous indignation is just, and it is simply a reaction to injustice. God himself gets angry over injustices.
