Psalms 76:6

4 You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

5 The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

7 You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

8 From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
