Psalms 75:3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The earth Or land; and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved Or melted, as נמגים, nemogim, may be rendered. It seems to mean, either that the Israelitish affairs were thrown into confusion, and the frame of the government dissolved by their civil distractions, or that the people were consumed and destroyed by the continual irruptions of foreign enemies. I bear up the pillars of it How much soever I am traduced by mine enemies, as the great disturber of the land, I must do myself this right to affirm that, under God, I do support and establish it, by maintaining religion and justice, by appointing, countenancing, and supporting good magistrates, and by encouraging the Lord's prophets and servants, and all good men, who are indeed the pillars of a nation.

Psalms 75:3

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
