Psalm 75
Darby Translation · 10 verses
To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.
1Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.2When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. Selah.4I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:5Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.6For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:7For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.8For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.9But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.10And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.Darby's Synopsis
In Psalm 75 Messiah is introduced speaking, though the psalm commences with the remnant giving thanks to God for wondrous works already wrought. Then judgments of God introduce Messiah to the kingdom. He receives the congregation of Israel; then upright judgment will be executed. The earth is dissolved in guilt and confusion. Messiah upholds its pillars. In the following verses He warns the wicked and despisers of God not to exalt themselves, for God is the Judge; He puts up and puts down.
