诗篇 75:2-3 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 75:2

When I shall receive the congregation; rather, when I shall have appointed a set time. It is agreed that the speaker, in this verse and the next, is God, who announces that he is about to descend in judgment. This, however, he will do "at his own set time," for which men must wait patiently (comp. Habakkuk 2:3 ). I will judge uprightly; or, "with uprightness" (comp. Psalms 58:1 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 75:2

God's set time for judgment. It is not certain whether Psalms 75:2 and Psalms 75:3 are to be taken as an utterance of the psalmist for himself, or whether God is here introduced as speaking. Dean Perowne thinks, "God is abruptly introduced as the speaker. The oracle is thus given as from the month of God himself, to those who may be in doubt or perplexity because their lot is cast in troublous times" But other writers think that Hezekiah is appealing to God, and assuring him that, even... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 75:3

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved. They "melt" with fear ( Psalms 44:6 ), either at God's coming in judgment, or at the dissolution which a hostile invasion is bringing on their land. I bear up the pillars of it . Meanwhile God upholds, and will uphold, both the moral and physical order of things. He will neither suffer the earth to be moved, nor the supports on which society depends to fail and crumble away. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 75:3

Help laid on One that is mighty. Our text and this whole psalm show clearly enough that— I. SUCH HELP WAS NEEDED . 1 . Society, order, law, seemed all on the point of dissolution. A condition of affairs is contemplated in which everything seemed rushing ruinwards, and would rapidly have reached such sad ending, had they not been held back by One mightier than they. We cannot say for certain, though we may conjecture, what special age, persons, or events are alluded to.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 75:2

When I shall receive the congregation - The marginal rendering is, “Take a set time.” The phrase is thus rendered in most of the versions. So the Septuagint, “When I take the time” - ὅταν λάβω καιρὸν hotan labō kairon. So the Vulgate, “When I accept the time.” So Luther, “When in its own time.” So De Wette, “When I take the time.” According to this interpretation, this is the language of God, as if implying that, although “the earth” was then “dissolved,” or although disorders were allowed... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 75:3

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved - The word rendered “dissolved” means properly to melt, to flow down; then, to melt away, to pine away, to perish. Isaiah 64:7; Job 30:22; Nahum 1:5; Psalms 107:26. Here it means that there was, as it were, a general breaking up of things; or that none of the institutions of the land seemed to have any stability. There seemed to be no government, but universal anarchy and confusion.I bear up the pillars of it - Of the earth; of society.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 75:2

Psalms 75:2. When I shall receive the congregation The first verse was spoken by many persons, We give thanks, &c.; here the speaker is one, and that one is plainly a ruler, who promises that when he shall have received the congregation, or, as מועד may be properly rendered, an appointed, or fit time, or season; that is, when he shall be established in power and authority, at a fit time and place, he will judge uprightly, and introduce a thorough reformation into a kingdom... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 75:3

Psalms 75:3. The earth Or land; and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved Or melted, as נמגים , nemogim, may be rendered. It seems to mean, either that the Israelitish affairs were thrown into confusion, and the frame of the government dissolved by their civil distractions, or that the people were consumed and destroyed by the continual irruptions of foreign enemies. I bear up the pillars of it How much soever I am traduced by mine enemies, as the great disturber of the land, I... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 75:1-10

Psalms 75-76 Exalting God, not selfIn a psalm designed for use in public worship, the congregation begins by thanking God for all his mighty deeds (75:1). A singer representing God replies that even when conditions in the world look hopeless, God is still in control. He will intervene when he sees fit (2-3). Therefore, the wicked should not be proud or stubborn like an ox that struggles against its master (4-5). The only exaltation that matters is that which comes from God. The opinions of... read more
