Summary

Psalm 75:1 – We give thanks What happens: God’s name is near and His wondrous deeds are told. What it means: Gratitude keeps God’s works in view. Worship frames life.

Psalm 75:2–5 – I will judge with equity What happens: God says He sets the time and steadies the pillars of the earth. He warns the proud not to lift their horn. What it means: God governs history and judges fairly. Pride has no future before Him.

Psalm 75:6–8 – Exaltation from God alone What happens: Lifting up does not come from east or west; the Lord puts down one and lifts another; a cup of judgment is in His hand. What it means: Promotion belongs to God. He alone dispenses justice.

Psalm 75:9–10 – Cut off the horns of the wicked What happens: The psalmist vows to praise God as He exalts the righteous and cuts off the wicked. What it means: God defends His people and humbles evil. Praise anticipates His verdict.

Application

  • Thank God that He rules the timing of justice.
  • Humble yourself under God’s hand rather than self-promotion.
  • Trust God to lift the righteous and silence the proud.

Bible

1To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
