Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 75:10

The horns of the wicked; their honour and power, which they made an instrument of mischief to oppress good men. A metaphor from horned and mischievous beasts. I will cut off, when I shall be advanced to the throne, and have power and authority to do what now I can only desire and pray for. The horns of the righteous shall be exalted; good men shall be encouraged and promoted, and intrusted with the management of all public affairs, which will be a great blessing to all my people. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 75:1-10

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the chief Musician, Altaschith:” see introduction to Psalms 57:0. “A Pslam—a song of Asaph:” see introduction to Psalms 74:0.“There are,” says Perowne, “no clearly marked historical allusions in the Psalm. It seems, however, not improbable, as has been conjectured by many commentators, that it may refer to the time of the Assyrian invasion, either as celebrating, or immediately anticipating the defeat of Sennacherib. Like Psalms 46:0, it bears some resemblance to... read more

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly ( Psalms 75:1-2 ).This is, of course, God answering now.The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it ( Psalms 75:3 ).And so many times in the psalms, we find God's response to the cry of the psalmist. And it is always a beautiful thing when God... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 75:1-10

Title. Al-taschith: do not suffer me to perish. The style indicates that this was a psalm of David, when the courtiers of Saul had pronounced him guilty of high treason for aiming at the throne. He accuses them of dealing foolishly, wickedly, and with a stiff neck, against an innocent man; and of doing it basely to flatter Saul, and obtain promotion. A true portrait of a court-faction. For promotion cometh not from the east, nor west, nor south, but from the Lord, the ultimate judge of men.... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 75:1-10

Psalms 75:1-10For that Thy name is near Thy wondrous works declare.God’s nearness to the worldI. He is near as the sustainer of a dissolving system (Psalms 75:3). The force of disintegration operates every moment, not only in organized matter, but even in what we call simple substances, if, indeed, such things exist. The mountains falling come to nought. Every plant in the great system of vegetation is dissolving; and the great world of animal life, from the tiniest insect to the hugest monster... read more

Loses sight of self in devout admiration of the character and doings of God.1. He will praise God for His doings.(1) Undeserved by us. “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”(2) Unsought by us. We did not seek God, but He sought us by Jesus Christ.(3) Freely and heartily given by God out of His own... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 75:8

Psa 75:8 For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a 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]. Ver. 8. For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup ] A cup of affliction, whereof all must drink, more or less. The Chaldee calleth it a cup of curse.

But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted ] Dignity shall wait upon desert, which shall cause it again to be waited upon by respect. Thus... read more
