75:5 Against heaven means that this arrogance was directed against God himself (see note at 73:9).
75:6 Exaltation is from the same Hebrew root (rum) as “lift up” in vv. 4-5, linking the two concepts together.
75:7 God is the Judge is a statement of his sovereignty and his right to bring down or exalt anyone he wants (147:6; 1Sm 2:6-7; Lk 1:52-53). This extends to the whole earth (Gn 18:25; see note at Ps 7:6-8).
75:8 Cup depicts God’s judgment (60:3; Is 51:17; Jr 25:15,28; 49:12; 51:7). Since all the wicked of the earth are referred to, God’s judgment will fall on all humanity.
