Psalm 75 NKJV
Thanksgiving for God’s Righteous Judgment
To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do[a] Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
75 We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.
2 “When I choose the [b]proper time,
I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;
I set up its pillars firmly. Selah
4 “I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not [c]lift up the horn.
5 Do not lift up your horn on high;
Do not speak with [d]a stiff neck.’ ”
6 For exaltation comes neither from the east
Nor from the west nor from the south.
7 But God is the Judge:
He puts down one,
And exalts another.
8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup,
And the wine is red;
It is fully mixed, and He pours it out;
Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth
Drain and drink down.
9 But I will declare forever,
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 “All the [e]horns of the wicked I will also cut off,
But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.”

Psalm 75 Commentary
God Is In Charge!
The psalmist declares the praises of the El-Shaddai God. He is the Judge. He times everything. He steadies the ship. Confusion won’t last. Let the wicked hear this message.
In a world of unlimited confusion, the saint is left wondering if the LORD has full control of events. At times, we begin to magnify satan for the happenings. He is responsible for A, B, and C. The world says it. Satan says it. He appears to have control over success. The saint remembers satan’s word: “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
Probably, it is to this kind of thought that this psalm addresses itself. The LORD retains ultimate control of events. He brings one down, he exalts another. It is the LORD and not satan. Yet, satan wants to take the praise for everything. Lies. Always lying.
This psalm pictures the Creator God as having ultimate control of time and space. He chooses the appointed time. But even in between these key decisions, the LORD still holds His own, lifting up one and demoting the other, while sustaining the earth. There is probably no blank space in between.
This thought is important for the saint who may feel like the LORD leaves behind blanks for satan to fill in. No. Instead, let the saint burst into a song of praise to the El-Shaddai God who, alone, does wonderful deeds. Anyone who cares can investigate. No one from the east or the west fits the bill. Indeed, He is worthy of praise!
