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 It is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.
8 In the hand of the LORD is a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices; he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to its very dregs.
9 As for me, I will declare this forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,
10 who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
