Bible Question:
Psalm 75:10, NKJ, "All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted." Of whom is the pronoun "I" speaking of here? I am interested in this verse as one who counts pronouns of Deity. Should I count it or not? The verse of reference in our Study Bibles is Psalm 101:8. From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Ray, Here is the NAB version of Psalm 75 with footnotes. Psalms Chapter 75 1 For the leader. Do not destroy! A psalm of Asaph; a song. 2 We thank you, God, we give thanks; we call upon your name, declare your wonderful deeds. You said: 3 "I will choose the time; I will judge fairly. 4 The earth and all its inhabitants will quake, but I have firmly set its pillars." Selah 5 So I say to the boastful: "Do not boast!" to the wicked: "Do not raise your horns! 6 Do not raise your horns against heaven! Do not speak arrogantly against the Rock!" 7 For judgment comes not from east or from west, not from the desert or from the mountains, 8 But from God who decides, who brings some low and raises others high. 9 4 Yes, a cup is in the LORD'S hand, foaming wine, fully spiced. When God pours it out, they will drain it even to the dregs; all the wicked of the earth must drink. 10 But I will rejoice forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob, 11 Who has said: "I will break off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted up." Footnotes 1 [Psalm 75] The psalmist gives thanks and rejoices (Psalm 75:2, 10) for the direct intervention of God, which is promised in two oracles (3-4,11). Expecting that divine intervention, the psalmist warns evildoers to repent (Psalm 75:5-9). 2 [2] You said: supplied for clarity here and in Psalm 75:11. The translation assumes in both places that the psalmist is citing an oracle of God. 3 [5] Do not raise your horns!: the horn is the symbol of strength; to raise one's horn is to exalt one's own power as Psalm 75:5 explains. 4 A cup: "the cup of God's wrath" is the punishment inflicted on the wicked. Cf Isaiah 51:17; Jeremiah 25:15-29; 49:12; Ezekiel 23:31-33. Spiced: literally, "a mixed drink"; spices or drugs were added to wine. Cf Proverb 9:2,5 Emmaus |
