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 for God is the judge. He meeketh this man, and enhanceth him; (for God is the judge. He humbleth this one, and raiseth up that one;)
8 for a cup of clean wine, full of meddling, is in the hand of the Lord (for there is a cup of clear wine, full of mixing, or of mixture, in the Lord's hand). And he bowed (some) of this into that; nevertheless the dregs thereof is not diminished, either made less, (for) all [the] sinners of [the] earth shall drink thereof.
9 Forsooth I shall tell into the world; I shall sing to God of Jacob. (And I shall tell this out forever; I shall sing to the God of Jacob.)
10 And I shall break all the horns of sinners; and the horns of the just man shall be enhanced. (And I shall break all the horns of the sinners; but the horns of the righteous shall be raised up.)
