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 ) .

8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed; he will pour a draught from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs.

10 All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
