Psalms 75:5

5 Do not lift up high your horn. Do [not] speak with {arrogant pride}.'"

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 [The] earth and all its inhabitants [are] shaking; I steady its columns. Selah
4 I say to the boastful, 'Do not boast!' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up [your] horn!
5 Do not lift up high your horn. Do [not] speak with {arrogant pride}.'"
6 For [it is] not from [the] east or [the] west and not from [the] south [that] lifting up [comes],
7 rather God [is the] judge; one he brings low, and another he lifts up.
