Psalms 75:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 75:9

But I will declare for ever
These are not the words of the psalmist, but of Christ, who is all along speaking in the psalm; what he would declare is not expressed, and is to be supplied in sense thus; either that he would declare the wonderful works of God, ( Psalms 75:1 ) , so the Targum, his thoughts, mercies, and kindnesses to his people, as in ( Psalms 55:5 ) , or his judgments on his enemies, whom he shall pass sentence on, which will be for ever; or the name of the Lord, his purposes and decrees, his counsel and covenant, his mind and will, his Gospel and the truth of it: see ( Psalms 22:22 ) ,

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob;
the covenant God of his people, Christ's God, and their God; of his singing praise to him, see ( Psalms 22:22 ) .

Psalms 75:9 In-Context

7 God rules: he brings this one down to his knees, pulls that one up on her feet.
8 God has a cup in his hand, a bowl of wine, full to the brim. He draws from it and pours; it's drained to the dregs. Earth's wicked ones drink it all, drink it down to the last bitter drop!
9 And I'm telling the story of God Eternal, singing the praises of Jacob's God.
10 The fists of the wicked are bloody stumps, The arms of the righteous are lofty green branches.
