Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 75:1-10

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 75:1-10

Psalms 75:0 The Divine Answer 1. Christ the righteous judge (Psalms 75:1-5 ) 2. His judgment (Psalms 75:6-10 ) It is Christ as King who is pictured in this Psalm coming to answer the pleas of His people in behalf of His sanctuary. The translation in our version of the opening verses is faulty. “We give thanks to Thee, O God, we give thanks--Thy Name is near! When I have taken the set time, I, even I, will judge uprightly. Though the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are melting, I... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 75:8

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. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 75:10

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. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 75:1-10

Psalms 67:0 The first half dozen of these psalms form a group millennial and Messianic. The first is millennial. It is Israel who speaks; the psalm cannot be appreciated unless the word “us” in Psalms 67:1 is so applied. When God has mercy upon and blesses Israel in the latter days, His way and His saving health unto all nations (Psalms 67:2 ) will begin to be known. In other words, the present age is one of out-gathering, but the age to come (millennial) will be one of in-gathering. God is now... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 75:8

I do not presume to say what this cup is, nor to what the whole allusion is designed: perhaps it means a mixture of what God's people are appointed to drink in soul exercises, and in providences. And perhaps it means that the people of God shall drink of the blood of the Lamb. But one thing I beg to remark, that Jesus, when he came forth as the sinner's Surety, drank of the cup of trembling to the dregs, while his people have given to them the cup of salvation, that they may call upon the name... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 75:9-10

The Psalm ends, as it began, with ascribing glory to God, as God in covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The horn of all earthly power must be broken, but Christ, the horn of salvation to his people, must be exalted. Daniel 7:21 , etc. Luke 1:68-69 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 75:10

REFLECTIONS PRECIOUS Jesus! thou art the name of Jehovah to poor sinners, for all that is fair, and lovely, and engaging, is found in thy name. Lord! (may the church of thy redeemed well say) to thee do we give thanks; yea, unto thee do we give thanks. But how shall we sufficiently adore thee, O thou Lamb of God; that for us thou didst take the cup of trembling, and drink it up to the very dregs, that thy people might take the cup of salvation, and obtain redemption in thy blood! Was it for... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 75:8

And. Hebrew, "thou, and who shall subsist before thee in the moment of thy wrath?" Houbigant rejects the second thou. (Berthier) --- From. From the time that thy wrath shall bread out. (Challoner) --- Ex tunc, often relates to a distant period. We have long known the effects of thy indignation. (Calmet) (Hebrews x. 31.) --- At the first notice of thy will the enemy is dejected, and fears thy potent anger. (Worthington) read more
