The Judgment of God is Coming
Our world is full of boastful, self-sufficient people who refuse to acknowledge God in their lives. They live as their own god, believing in their hearts they are autonomous and can act just how they please. This Psalm serves as a warning to the ungodly and encouragement to the faithful that God is just.
The psalmist begins with public worship, showering God with thanks and giving God glory for His great works and nearness to His people (75:1).
The psalmist then reminds the worshippers that God is sovereign over all the affairs of the earth. He tells the people that God has said He has selected a time for the judgment of the wicked (75:2). God is a fair judge that can be trusted to do what is right. After all, it is God that shows the world common grace by maintaining stability and keeping everything from chaos (75:3).
God calls on the ungodly to not boast in their power and position, and stubbornly refusing to submit to Him (75:5). Brethren, there is no hiding from God’s judgement. He is the one who exalts the humble and brings low the proud (75:5-7).
The cup of the wrath of God is in the hand of God and ready for the time of judgement (75:8). The ungodly will not escape and will face God’s judgment (75:8)
Brethren, know that even with the evil in this world God will execute justice upon the wicked (75:10). Remember that God is sovereign over all of the affairs of mankind. It is only because of God’s patience that He has not yet brought judgement (2 Peter 3:9). The ungodly will face God’s judgement for their unbelief in Jesus Christ (John 3:18). While the righteous will exalted with God forever (Ps 75:10; Rev 21:3).
