Ps. 75 is a hymn of deliverance from the enemy. It is altogether probable that it was employed to celebrate Israel’s deliverance from Assyria at the time of the retreat of Sennacherib (2 Kings 19:35, 36). Like Ps. 46 and 47, which it somewhat resembles, the poem is vividly dramatic, especially in its presentation of God as the righteous judge. In its justification of the timeliness of God’s justice, the psalm is a rebuke to the impatience of man.
On the superscription see pp. 617, 629.
Thy wondrous works declare.
Or, “they recount Thy wondrous deeds.”
Is near.
In His manifestation of power in delivering Israel from the enemy, God manifests His nearness (see Deut. 4:7).
The use of the first person plural pronoun suggests that the psalm was intended for public worship. The repetition of the phrase lends liturgical emphasis.
