Psalms 75:5

5 Don't flaunt your strength so proudly; don't speak arrogantly, with your nose in the air!

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 quakes, with all living on it, it is I who hold its support-pillars firm."(Selah)
4 To the boastful I say, "Do not boast!"and to the wicked, "Don't flaunt your strength!
5 Don't flaunt your strength so proudly; don't speak arrogantly, with your nose in the air!
6 For you will not be raised to power by those in the east, the west or the desert;
7 since God is the judge; and it is he who puts down one and lifts up another.
