Psalm 75:10 KJV,ASV

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 Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 75:10

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off ,.... Therefore let them not lift up the horn on high: "horns" denote the power and authority of wicked men, their kingdoms and states; both Rome Pagan and Rome Papal are said to have ten horns, which are interpreted of ten kings or kingdoms; and which will be cut off when the vials of God's wrath are poured out on the antichristian states; which vials will be filled from the cup which is in the hand of the Lord, Revelation 12:1 , the Jews ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 75:10

All the horns of the wicked - All their power and influence, will I cut off; and will exalt and extend the power of the righteous. The psalmist is said to do these things, because he is as the mouth of God to denounce them. All was punctually fulfilled: the wicked - the Babylonians, were all cut off; the righteous - the Jews, called so from the holy covenant, which required righteousness, were delivered and exalted. 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 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 75:10

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off. Besides declaring God's judgments and singing his praises, the psalmist adds that he will, as far as lies in his power, seek to advance God's cause, and establish his kingdom, by checking, controlling, and putting down the wicked. This he expresses by the metaphor, "I will cut off their horns;" i.e. bring down their haughtiness, and deprive them of the power of doing mischief. But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. Then, as a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 75:10

Horns cut off. "All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off." A lifted horn well represents the insolent boasting of Rabshakeh, the Assyrian officer (see Isaiah 36:1-22 ). The Divine answer was the cutting off of Rabshakeh's uplifted horn. God dealt in this way with proud Rabshakeh: "Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land" ( Isaiah 37:7 ). Or, if Sennacherib be chiefly... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 75:10

All the horns of the wicked ... - See the notes at Psalms 75:4. The meaning is, I will destroy all their power. This, too, may refer to the author of the psalm, supposed to be a prince or ruler about to ascend the throne, and to assert his rightful authority. This indicates his purpose in regard to his administration (compare Psalms 75:2); the principles on which he would administer his government. It would be an administration under which the wicked would be punished, and where the righteous... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 75:9-10

Psalms 75:9-10. But I will declare for ever These dispensations of mercy and judgment to the world. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob He will praise God, and give him glory for the power to which he had advanced him, and that not only at first, while the mercy was fresh, but for ever; as long as he lives he will remember, and be grateful for, this instance of the Lord’s goodness. Thus the exaltation of the Son of David will be the subject of the saints’ everlasting praises. And... read more
