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 goes topsy-turvy And nobody knows which end is up, I nail it all down, I put everything in place again.
4 I say to the smart alecks, 'That's enough,' to the bullies, 'Not so fast.'"
5 Don't raise your fist against High God. Don't raise your voice against Rock of Ages.
6 He's the One from east to west; from desert to mountains, he's the One.
7 God rules: he brings this one down to his knees, pulls that one up on her feet.
