Psa 75:4-5 | MHM | STEP | v. 4-5 : The psalmist warns those who are foolish or proud. He says, “I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn” (Psalm 75:4-5 ). He had tried to give good advice even when he did not have power, telling people not to act against God or the king. Now, as king, he warns both the careless sinners and the proud rebels. He tells them not to be stubborn or boast about their strength. He says, “Speak not with a stiff neck” —do not be stubborn against God’s rule. If people refuse to listen and continue in pride, they will be humbled. Just as “every mountain will be brought low before him” (Isaiah 40:4 ), God will bring down the proud. Pharaoh once said, “Who is the Lord?” but God showed him who is truly in control.
