Psalms 75 - Summary

Original Summary

Read Psalms Chapter 75 Summary

We give thanks, O God, for Your wondrous works. When the appointed time comes, God judges uprightly. When the earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved, God steadies its pillars. To the wicked God says: lift not up your horn. Exaltation comes neither from east nor west, but God judges—putting down one and setting up another. God is the Judge.
