Psalms 75

5. speak . . . neck--insolently.

6. promotion--literally, "a lifting up." God is the only right judge of merit.

8. in the hand . . . a cup . . . red--God's wrath often thus represented (compare Isaiah 51:17 Jeremiah 25:15 ).
but the dregs--literally, "surely the dregs, they shall drain it."

9, 10. Contrasted is the lot of the pious who will praise God, and, acting under His direction, will destroy the power of the wicked, and exalt that of the righteous.
