Vers 1

U alleen, U loven wij;
Ja wij loven U, o HEER;
Want Uw naam, zo rijk van eer,
Is tot onze vreugd nabij;
Dies vertelt men in ons land,
Al de wond'ren Uwer hand.

Vers 2

Als ik 't ambt ontvangen zal,
Wil ik, volgens eed en plicht,
Altoos recht doen in 't gericht.
Land en volk was in verval;
Maar zijn pijlers steld' ik vast,
Tegen woed' en overlast.

Vers 3

Tot het dom en dwaas geslacht
Zeid' ik: "Wees niet zinneloos";
Tot de snoden; "Weest niet boos,
Dat gij hoornen, sterk van kracht,
Woedende naar boven steekt,
En met stijven halze spreekt."

Latar belakang

Psalm 75 is ascribed to Asaf, likely composed in the post‑exilic period when Israel’s temple worship was being re‑established; it reflects a community aware of God’s sovereign judgment amid social upheaval. Theologically it stresses God as the ultimate judge who vindicates the humble and humbles the proud, echoing earlier Asaphic themes of divine justice and covenant fidelity.

Pesan inti

The psalm declares that the LORD alone is worthy of praise because He alone determines justice, raising the lowly and crushing the arrogant, and that His decisions are irrevocable like a poured bitter cup.

Untuk hari ini

Today believers are called to trust in God's just rulings, to practice humility instead of pride, and to advocate for the oppressed, remembering that divine justice will ultimately prevail.
