Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 75:6-10

In these verses we have two great doctrines laid down and two good inferences drawn from them, for the confirmation of what he had before said. I. Here are two great truths laid down concerning God's government of the world, which we ought to mix faith with, both pertinent to the occasion:? 1. That from God alone kings receive their power (Ps. 75:6, 7), and therefore to God alone David would give the praise of his advancement; having his power from God he would use it for him, and therefore... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 75:9

But I will declare for ever ,.... These are not the words of the psalmist, but of Christ, who is all along speaking in the psalm; what he would declare is not expressed, and is to be supplied in sense thus; either that he would declare the wonderful works of God, Psalm 75:1 , so the Targum, his thoughts, mercies, and kindnesses to his people, as in Psalm 55:5 , or his judgments on his enemies, whom he shall pass sentence on, which will be for ever; or the name of the Lord, his purposes... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 75:9

Verse 9 9.and 10.But I will publish for ever. This conclusion of the psalm evinces the joy which God’s people felt from having experienced that He was their deliverer in adversity; for it seems to be their own experience which they engage to publish, and on account of which they resolve to sing praise to God. Whence also they gather, that by the divine aid they will overcome all the power of the reprobate; and that being themselves possessed of righteousness and equity, they will be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 75:1-10

The phrase, "Al-taschith," in the "title," is probably a musical term. It occurs also in the titles of Psalms 57:1-11 ; Psalms 58:1-11 ; Psalms 59:1-17 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 75:1-10

The undaunted one. Such is the spirit of this psalm; fearlessness characterizes it throughout, and concerning this spirit it teaches much. I. ON WHAT SUCH SPIRIT RESTS . 1 . On the conviction that God is near at hand for our help. "For that thy Name is near," etc. ( Psalms 75:1 ). 2 . On the evidence for this conviction which God's "wondrous works" supplies: works in nature, providence, grace. II. THE FRUITS SUCH SPIRIT BEANS . 1 . ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 75:1-10

The righteous judgment of God. This psalm celebrates in prophetic strain the righteous judgment of God. The voice of God himself declares from heaven his righteousness; that he is not, as human impertinence has been wont to think, regardless of wrong and suffering, but only waits for the moment which to his infinite wisdom seems best. I. GOD 'S RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT OF THE WORLD . 1 . God ' s wonderful work in history attests it. ( Psalms 75:1 .) "What nation is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 75:9

But I will declare forever; i.e. "I will declare these things"—viz. God's just judgments upon the wicked. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. On the force of the phrase, "God of Jacob," see the comment upon Psalms 20:1 . read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 75:9

The God of Jacob. It is a singular and suggestive thing that God is not thought of by Hezekiah here as the God of Abraham, but as the God of Jacob. The revelations God makes to men are, partly, general to all men, suitable to man as man; and, partly, special to individuals, precisely adapted to the circumstances and necessities of particular persons. We may therefore profitably study what God was to Abraham, what to Isaac, what to Jacob. And if we can see these three cases to be, in a... read more

Albert Barnes

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
