Psalms 75:4

Compare all

2 “When I choose the¹ proper time,
I will judge uprightly.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;
I set up its pillars firmly. Selah

4 “I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’
And to the wicked, ^a‘Do not lift up the horn.

5 Do not lift up your horn on high;
Do not speak with¹ a stiff neck.’ ”

6 For exaltation comes neither from the east
Nor from the west nor from the south.

7 But ^aGod is the Judge:
^bHe puts down one,
And exalts another.

Psalms 75:4-8

Here the writer speaks in view of God's declaration, warning the wicked.

Lift . . . up the horn—to exalt power, here, of the wicked himself—that is, to be arrogant or self-elated.
