Psalm 75
1. The prophet praises God
2. He promises to judge uprightly
4. He rebukes the proud by consideration of God's providence
9. He praises God, and promises to execute justice.














(1) For that . . .--The wonders just wrought for Israel have repeated the old conviction that God's name, a word of power to save (comp. Psalm 34:18; Psalm 145:18), is near. (Comp. Psalm 105:1.)

Verse 1. - Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks; for that thy Name is near thy wondrous works declare; literally, and thy Name is near (i.e. thy providence and care are close to us); this do thy wondrous works declare. The "wondrous works" are those of times past (comp. Psalm 74:12-15), whereof the psalmist anticipates a continuance or repetition.
