Psalm Ps. 75. This is a hymn of praise. It thanks God for the wondrous deeds he has done for Israel. It celebrates the fact that he is the judge of all the earth. He will, in his own time, put down the wicked and lift up the faithful.
Ps. 75:1 The subject (we) is Israel. They are the ones to whom God’s name is near, and they are the people for whom God has done his wondrous deeds (e.g., the plagues of Egypt, the crossing of the Jordan River, defeating enemies).
Ps. 75:2–5 judge. God’s judgment will be with equity. This fairness preserves the stability of God’s creation order (pillars).
Ps. 75:4 Do not lift up your horn. The horn is a symbol of power. To lift it up is to make a public assertion of power. God warns the ungodly not to do this.
Ps. 75:6–8 This section takes up the idea of lifting up from vv. 4–5. Ultimately it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.
Ps. 75:10 God promises that he will lift up the horns of the righteous (see note on v. 4). To cut off the horns is to render powerless and to humiliate, which is what he will do to the wicked.
