Psalms 75 · Geneva Bible Notes (1599)
"To the chief Musician, (a) 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 (b) thy wondrous works declare. (a) Read ( Psa 57:1 ). (b) He declares how the faithful will always have opportunity to praise God, as in their need they will feel his power at hand to help them. Psalms 75:2
(c) When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. (c) When I see my time (says God) to help your miseries, I will come and set all things in good order. Psalms 75:3
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars (d) of it. Selah. (d) Though all things are brought to ruin, yet I can restore and preserve them. Psalms 75:5
Lift not up your (e) horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff neck. (e) The prophet warns the wicked that they would not set themselves against God's people, seeing that God at his time destroys them who rule wickedly. Psalms 75:8
For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a (f) 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]. (f) God's wrath is compared to a cup of strong and delicate wine, with which the wicked are made so drunk that by drinking till they come to the very dregs they are utterly destroyed. Psalms 75:10
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the horns of the (g) righteous shall be exalted. (g) The godly will better prosper by their innocent simplicity, than the wicked will by all their craft and subtilty.
