5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
5 Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak so defiantly.' "
5 do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with haughty neck.'"
5 Don't raise your fist against High God. Don't raise your voice against Rock of Ages.
5 Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.' "
5 Don't raise your fists in defiance at the heavens or speak with such arrogance.'"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 75:5
Commentary on Psalm 75:1-5
(Read Psalm 75:1-5)
We often pray for mercy, when in pursuit of it; and shall we only once or twice give thanks, when we obtain it? God shows that he is nigh to us in what we call upon him for. Public trusts are to be managed uprightly. This may well be applied to Christ and his government. Man's sin threatened to destroy the whole creation; but Christ saved the world from utter ruin. He who is made of God to us wisdom, bids us be wise. To the proud, daring sinners he says, Boast not of your power, persist not in contempt. All the present hopes and future happiness of the human race spring from the Son of God.
