What does Psalm 75:10 mean?
Please see our chapter commentary on Psalm 75, verse-level content coming soon!Psalm 75:9–10 distinguishes those who honor God with praise from those who refuse to submit to His will. The psalmist intends to worship the Lord. Those who defy Him (Psalm 75:4–5) will be harshly punished, but those who respect Him will be rescued. It's likely that the final verse reverts to God's statement, rather than that of the psalmist.
This psalm begins by thanking the Lord for His many incredible actions. It then speaks from the Lord's perspective as He states that judgment will occur only on His timing. This comes with warnings to those tempted to reject God's authority. Those who oppose the Lord will suffer wrath beyond their imagination. In contrast, the psalmist intends to praise the Lord. He expects God's judgment to separate the righteous from the wicked.
