Mishael on Psalm 756's comment on 2020-05-24 10:17:05:

Psalm 75:6

Verse 6-10. The rise and fall of nations and empires are in this Psalm ascribed to God. He exalts one and puts down another at his pleasure.

In this he generally uses instrumentality, but that instrumentality is always rendered effectual by his own agency. When nations or individuals are prosperous, and glorious, and powerful, they usually ascribe all to themselves or to fortune. But it is God who has raised them to eminence.

When they boast He can humble them. In these verses God is considered as the governor of the world, punishing the wicked, and pouring out judgment on his enemies. The calamities of war, pestilence, and famine, are all ministers of providence to execute wrath. Commentary by Alexander Carson.

This website has a commentary that you can read what the scripture is thought, to explain a verse. Type the scripture in the search box. After it comes up, scroll down until you see the commentary box. Click on that.

It also has a box so you can go straight to Google if nothing came up on your KJVO search. Have a pad & pencil ready.

That center column in some Bibles is used to give explanation of scriptures pertaining to the one you are questioning. The letters and numbers correspond to the verse you are reading. I find that really helpful.

"For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south."

So then, it must come from the North?

This psalms rings in my heart to relax, God knows what I need and when I need it. He knows how to set my feet on high while I learn how to be content with what I have. I don 't have to worry about a thing. If God be for me....No one can take what belongs to me by God.

My own thought about this verse is that in ALL situations in life,GOD will never share is glory with man.

Our destinies are programmed by our maker. And so every step,height we attain in life has already been set by God, our duties is to align with Him NOT man to accessing it.

Alice's comment on 2014-10-27 23:39:59:

It means blessings come from God and not man. God says in his word "not by power nor by might, but by my spirit says the Lord. " Also, his word says when you please Him, He will bless you to find favor in man therefore, it takes God 's favor in whatever endeavors you attempt in life. So why settle for less, when you can get the best, and that 's through Jesus Christ.

david's comment on 2013-08-10 12:22:51:

My thought about psalm 75:6 is simple, trying to go for help from any conner at all aside of God's provision is like trying to get water in the desert and beliving that it will just appear when you don't belive in the supernatural cretor which would certainly amount to nothing reasonable.

Esther's comment on 2013-01-22 14:37:13:

We should not look up to man for promotion because it can be limited, but to God that gives and adds no sorrow.
