75:1 < (a) Read Ps 57:1. (b) He declares how the faithful will always have opportunity to praise God, as in their need they will feel his power at hand to help them. 75:2 {c} When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. (c) When I see my time (says God) to help your miseries, I will come and set all things in good order. 75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars {d} of it. Selah. (d) Though all things are brought to ruin, yet I can restore and preserve them. 75:5 Lift not up your {e} horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff neck. (e) The prophet warns the wicked that they would not set themselves against God's people, seeing that God at his time destroys them who rule wickedly. 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. 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. | |
