Notes

Psalms 75:7–8

The Lord alone is the Judge. He has the power to raise people up or bring them down (see 1 Samuel 2:7; Luke 1:52).

Psalms 75:2–8

The Lord will bring justice in his own time.

Psalms 75:1–10

This hymn of thanksgiving includes two direct messages from God that assure us of his justice (Psalm 75:2–3, 10). The Lord warns arrogant people who defy him, promising to humble them by force (Psalm 75:4–8). Together, the community and the psalmist give thanks for God's character (Psalm 75:1, 9).

Psalms 73:1–75:10

The seeming success of the wicked (Psalm 73) and God's apparent rejection of his people (Psalm 74) raise questions about his justice. God rules the entire world and decides when to judge (Psalm 75).
