Psalms 75

He does according to his will in the army of Heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth, and none can stay his hand, or say to him, what do you do? God sits judge in the highest court, he calls the monarchs of the earth to the bar, and is not bound to give a reason for his p…

No mixture of mercy. How is the cup of wrath said to be full of mixture (Psalm 75:8): The wine is red, it is full of mixture: yet in the Revelation it is said to be without mixture? It is full of mixture, that is, it is full of all the ingredients that may make it bitter.

2. It is not meant of God's providential kingdom; (Psalm 103:19). His kingdom rules over all; that is, the kingdom of his providence: This kingdom we do not pray for, when we say Your Kingdom come; for this kingdom is already come: God exercises the kingdom of his providence in…

If they who sip of the cup find it so bitter, what will they do who drink the dregs of the cup? (Psalm 75:8.) Solomon says, The wrath of a prince is as the roaring of a lion (Proverbs 19:12). What then is God's wrath?

3. God's Providence reaches to all affairs and occurrences in the world — there is nothing that stirs in the world but God has by his Providence the overruling of it. The raising of a man to honor — from where is this? — but through divine Providence (Psalm 75:7): He puts down o…

When a breach is made in the wall of a castle, soldiers stand in that breach till the enemy be beaten back; so when the wrath of God was coming against Israel, Moses stood in the breach, and by his prayers kept it off. The saints are the Atlases that bear up a nation from sinkin…

Thus when Christ shall give his people the last and greatest deliverance from Antichrist, he shall shew himself to his people in a vesture dipt in blood, and his Name shall be called, The Word of God, Revelation 19:13 His Name was the Word of God before; but then he was the Word…

And these works are wrought secretly also (as is said above of others) so that no man feels them until they be ended. The rich man does not perceive his vanity and misery before he dies, or perishes otherwise, as testifies Psalm 75 on this wise: The proud shall be robbed and sle…

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinners appear? We read (Psalm 75:8) of a cup of red wine in the hand of the Lord, he may give his people to drink the top of it, but the most bitter and dreggish part, which is at the bottom, the wicked shall w…

1. God has in general instituted civil government for the good of human society, and still there is good in it, tyranny is better than anarchy. 2. It is by his providence that men are advanced to places of authority (Psalm 75:6-7; Daniel 4:25; John 19:11). Third, it is his comma…

The Fear of God swallows up all other Fear, as Moses Rod swallowed up the Magitians Rods. 14. To be void of Gods Fear, is Folly, Psalm 75:4. I said to the Fools, deal not Foolishly, and to the wicked, lift not up the Horn. 1. Are not they Fools who gratifie their Enemy?

The adulterer makes his body a brothel. The body is called a vessel in Scripture; these vessels will be found musty at the resurrection, fit only to hold that wine which you read of (Psalm 75:8): 'In the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red'; this is the wine of…

Section 5. 5. The pouring out of the vial (Psalm 75:8): For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red, it is full of mixture, and he pours out of the same. This is the sad execution: hell is set out by Tophet (Isaiah 30:33), which was a place situated near Jeru…

There is a sad cup brewing, which will spoil the sinners' mirth. Psalm 75:8, In the hand of the Lord there is a cup, the wine is red, it is full of mixture. This wine is the wrath of God, and it is mixed, the worm and the fire, help to mix the cup.

Here is a golden Epistle, the writing is the work of Faith, the Table it is written in, is the heart, the finger that writes it is the spirit: Now, after the Spirit's writing, follows the Spirit's sealing, Ephesians 1:13. After you believed you were sealed with the Spirit; that…

So another Prophet rebukes the ungodly men, who ascribe to the diligence of men or to Fortune, that some lie in misery and some arise up to honor. "To come to preferment is neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south, for God is the judge, he makes low and he make…
