Psalms 75:5

5 Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.

Psalms 75:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 75:5

Lift not up your horn on high
Or "against the most High" {q}; as the little horn, or the beast with ten horns, antichrist, does, whose look is more stout than his fellows, and opens his mouth in blasphemy against God, his name, his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven, ( Daniel 7:8 Daniel 7:20 ) ( Revelation 18:1 Revelation 18:6 ) ,

speak [not with] a stiff neck;
arrogantly, proudly, and haughtily: or "hard things with a neck" ^F18; hard speeches against Christ and his people with an outstretched neck, in an imperious and insolent manner; for the righteous Judge will convince such of their hard speeches, and condemn them for them; ( Jude 1:14 Jude 1:15 ) .

Psalms 75:5 In-Context

3 When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah.)

4 I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.

5 Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.

6 For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;

7 But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.
