Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 75:9

But I will declare for ever - I - the author of the psalm. I will make known at all times the character of God, and will declare the truth respecting his works and ways. The particular mode as referred to here, was praise.I will sing praises to the God of Jacob - The God whom Jacob worshipped; the God who proved himself to be his Friend, thus showing that he is the Friend of all that trust in him. See the notes at Psalms 24:6. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 75:10

All the horns of the wicked ... - See the notes at Psalms 75:4. The meaning is, I will destroy all their power. This, too, may refer to the author of the psalm, supposed to be a prince or ruler about to ascend the throne, and to assert his rightful authority. This indicates his purpose in regard to his administration (compare Psalms 75:2); the principles on which he would administer his government. It would be an administration under which the wicked would be punished, and where the righteous... read more

This verse is added, either, 1st, As a reason or confirmation of the assertion, Psalms 75:7, and to show that God, in removing one king to make way for another, did not proceed in a way of absolute sovereignty, but in a way of justice and equity. Or, 2d, As another argument to enforce his advice given Psalms 75:4-5, which he had already pressed by one argument, Psalms 75:6-7. In the hand of the Lord there is a cup God is here compared to the master of a feast,... read more

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

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 75:10

"All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up."The problem of this verse is simply, "Who says this?" Most of the scholars seem to think that these are the words of the psalmist, but the problem with that is that no ordinary person, even a righteous person, has the power and ability to do what is here indicated. What mortal man can say, "I will lift up the righteous and cast down the wicked?""Psalms 75:10 is best understood as a statement of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 75:8

Psalms 75:8. For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red— And the wine is in a ferment. Hiller, 328. Is unmixed: Green; who renders the next clause, He filleth it up to the brim, and poureth out of the same. It is not improbable, that the wine here mentioned may allude to the stupifying and intoxicating liquor, which was given to criminals before their execution, either to hasten their death, or to lessen their sense of the pains they were to suffer; for it was a mixture of... read more
