<p><i>Al-taschith</i>— (See on JFB for <a href="./Comm/jfb/Psa/Psa057.html#Ps57_1">Ps 57:1</a>, title). In impending danger, the Psalmist, anticipating relief in view of God's righteous government, takes courage and renders praise.
|
|
<p><b>1.</b> God's name or perfections are set forth by His wondrous works.
|
|
<p id="Ps75_2"><b>2, 3.</b> These verses express the purpose of God to administer a just government, and in a time of anarchy that He sustains the nation. Some apply the words to the Psalmist.
|
|
<br><br><b>receive the congregation</b>—literally, "take a set time" (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',102,13);">Psa 102:13</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Hsa',2,3);">Hsa 2:3</a>), or an assembly at a set time—that is, for judging.
|
|
<p id="Ps75_3"><b>3. pillars of it</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('1Sa',2,8);">1Sa 2:8</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps75_4"><b>4-8.</b> Here the writer speaks in view of God's declaration, warning the wicked.
|
|
<br><br><b>Lift...up the horn</b>—to exalt power, here, of the wicked himself—that is, to be arrogant or self-elated.
|
|
<p id="Ps75_5"><b>5. speak...neck</b>—insolently.
|
|
<p id="Ps75_6"><b>6. promotion</b>—literally, "a lifting up." God is the only right judge of merit.
|
|
<p id="Ps75_8"><b>8. in the hand...a cup...red</b>—God's wrath often thus represented (compare <a onclick="return mV('Isa',51,17);">Isa 51:17</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',25,15);">Jer 25:15</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>but the dregs</b>—literally, "surely the dregs, they shall drain it."
|
|
<p id="Ps75_9"><b>9, 10.</b> Contrasted is the lot of the pious who will praise God, and, acting under His direction, will destroy the power of the wicked, and exalt that of the righteous.
