Psalms 75:5

5 Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”

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 and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars. Selah
4 I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.
5 Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”
6 For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert,
7 but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.
