PSALM 75

. *Al-taschith*—(See on , title). In impending danger, the Psalmist, anticipating
relief in view of God's righteous government, takes courage and
renders praise.

**1.** God's name or perfections are
set forth by His wondrous works.

**2, 3.** These verses express the
purpose of God to administer a just government, and in a time of
anarchy that He sustains the nation. Some apply the words to the
Psalmist.
**receive the
congregation**—literally, "take a set time" ([Psalms 102:13](../../../kjv/psalms/102/13);
[Hosea 2:3](../../../kjv/hosea/2/3)), or an assembly at a set
time—that is, for judging.

**3. pillars of it**— ().

**4-8.** Here the writer speaks in
view of God's declaration, warning the wicked.
**Lift . . . up the horn**—to
exalt power, here, of the wicked himself—that is, to be arrogant or
self-elated.

**5. speak . . . neck**—insolently.

**6. promotion**—literally, "a
lifting up." God is the only right judge of merit.

**4-8.** Here the writer speaks in
view of God's declaration, warning the wicked.
**Lift . . . up the horn**—to
exalt power, here, of the wicked himself—that is, to be arrogant or
self-elated.

**8. in the hand . . . a cup . . .
red**—God's wrath often thus represented (compare [Isaiah 51:17](../../../kjv/isaiah/51/17);
[Jeremiah 25:15](../../../kjv/jeremiah/25/15) Jer 25:15).
**but the dregs**—literally,
"surely the dregs, they shall drain it."

**9, 10.** Contrasted is the lot of
the pious who will praise God, and, acting under His direction, will
destroy the power of the wicked, and exalt that of the righteous.
