Psalm 75:9

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 75:9-10

Psalms 75:9-10. But I will declare for ever These dispensations of mercy and judgment to the world. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob He will praise God, and give him glory for the power to which he had advanced him, and that not only at first, while the mercy was fresh, but for ever; as long as he lives he will remember, and be grateful for, this instance of the Lord’s goodness.

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 75:9

Psalms 75:9. But I will declare for ever— But as for me, I will exult for ever. See Bishop Hare and Mudge. As for his part, the author declares he would always exult, and celebrate the glory of the God of Jacob; whose minister he should be, to humble the wicked, and to exalt the righteous. This shews the author of the psalm either to have been the prince, or some one in his person. REFLECTIONS. The psalm opens, 1. With repeated and fervent thanksgivings for God's great mercies received; and may... read more

3. God’s glory for judging 75:9-10Asaph concluded by praising God publicly, and in song, for judging His enemies. The horns symbolize strength, and they picture animals. Israel’s enemies would lose their strength, but God’s people would grow stronger. God may be speaking again in Psalms 75:10.This inspiring psalm pictures Yahweh in His role as Judge of all the earth.

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 75:1-10

In contrast with the plaintive strains of Psalms 74 this is a Ps. of thanksgiving for some national deliverance (Psalms 75:1). It celebrates God as the Judge of all the earth, who interposes in His own time amid the confusions of men (Psalms 75:2-3). His enemies are warned against pride (Psalms 75:4-8) by the certainty that His cup of punishment is prepared for the wicked (Psalms 75:8). The Ps. ends with an ascription of praise (Psalms 75:9), and a declaration of God’s righteous purpose (Psalms... read more

The Cup in the Hand of the Lord Psalms 75:8 What is the cup of the Lord in my text? What is the cup of salvation in another Psalm? What is the cup of blessing in St. Paul? Are there two different cups? Are we to distinguish between the cup which Christ drained and the cup which He blessed? Are we to divide the Passion from the Eucharist? Good Friday from Maundy Thursday? no, we are not to divide them. The two are one. The Eucharist is the communion of the Passion. The power of the Passion is... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 75:1-10

Psalms 75:1-10THIS psalm deals with the general thought of God’s judgment in history, especially on heathen nations. It has no clear marks of connection with any particular instance of that judgment. The prevalent opinion has been that it refers, like the next psalm, to the destruction of Sennacherib’s army. There are in it slight resemblances to Psalms 46:1-11, and to Isaiah’s prophecies regarding that event, which support the conjecture. Cheyne seems to waver, as on page 148 of "Orig. of... read more
