Psalms 75:9

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

⁶For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert, ⁷but it is God who judges; He brings one down and exalts another. ⁸For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices, He pours from it, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down it to the dregs. ⁹But I will proclaim it forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.¹⁰"All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But I will declare for ever,.... These are not the words of the psalmist, but of Christ, who is all along speaking in the psalm; what he would declare is not expressed, and is to be supplied in sense thus; either that he would declare the wonderful works of God,

Psalms 75:1, so the Targum, his thoughts, mercies, and kindnesses to his people, as in Psalms 55:5, or his judgments on his enemies, whom he shall pass sentence on, which will be for ever; or the name of the Lord, his purposes and decrees, his counsel and covenant, his mind and will, his Gospel and the truth of it: see Psalms 22:22,

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob; the covenant God of his people, Christ's God, and their God; of his singing praise to him, see

Psalms 22:22.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But I will declare for ever - I - the author of the psalm. I will make known at all times the character of God, and will declare the truth respecting his works and ways. The particular mode as referred to here, was praise.

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob - The God whom Jacob worshipped; the God who proved himself to be his Friend, thus showing that he is the Friend of all that trust in him. See the notes at Psalms 24:6.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 75:9. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. — These are the words of the psalmist, who magnifies the Lord for the promise of deliverance from their enemies.
