751 We thank you, God, we thank you - your Name is our favorite word; your mighty works are all we talk about. 2 You say, "I'm calling this meeting to order, I'm ready to set things right. 3 When the earth goes topsy-turvy And nobody knows which end is up, I nail it all down, I put everything in place again. 4 I say to the smart alecks, 'That's enough,' to the bullies, 'Not so fast.'" 5 Don't raise your fist against High God. Don't raise your voice against Rock of Ages.

Commentary on Psalm 75:1-5
(Read Psalm 75:1-5)
We often pray for mercy, when in pursuit of it; and shall we only once or twice give thanks, when we obtain it? God shows that he is nigh to us in what we call upon him for. Public trusts are to be managed uprightly. This may well be applied to Christ and his government. Man's sin threatened to destroy the whole creation; but Christ saved the world from utter ruin. He who is made of God to us wisdom, bids us be wise. To the proud, daring sinners he says, Boast not of your power, persist not in contempt. All the present hopes and future happiness of the human race spring from the Son of God.
