Psalms 75:1 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

CONTENTS

This appears to be a Psalm of praise. The soul rejoicing in the covenant interest of God his Saviour, while he praiseth God, corrects the ungodly, and speaks with holy confidence of what the different ends shall be to the righteous and to the wicked.

To the chief musician, Al-taschith, a Psalm or Song of Asaph.

Psalms 75:1

The Psalmist loves to dwell upon the precious name of the Lord. And when we consider the honour due to this holy name, and the regard the Lord hath in all ages manifested towards it, we may well join issue with the Psalmist in celebrating it. See Ezekiel 36:22. And this is the very argument the Psalmist useth for mercy, Psalms 25:11. Is not this wholly on Christ's account? and was not Jesus meant in that scripture, Exodus 23:20-21 ?

Psalms 75:1
