Psalms 75:7-8

Psalms 75:7-8

[7] But God  is the judge:  he putteth down  one, and setteth up  [8] For in the hand  of the LORD  there is a cup,  and the wine  is red;  it is full  of mixture;  and he poureth out  of the same:  but the dregs  thereof, all the wicked  of the earth  shall wring them out,  and drink 

What does Psalms 75:7-8 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

As Judges , God forces His enemies to drink from the cup that determines consequences. He forces them to drink all the wine of judgment that He has prepared for them (cf. Psalm 60:3; Isaiah 51:17-23; Habakkuk 2:16). They cannot escape doing Song of Solomon , or the consequences of doing Song of Solomon , at His appointed time. In some nations kings made convicted criminals drink poisoned wine.
