Psalm 75

“It is I who judge with equity” (2). The psalmist tells us that only God is capable of perfect justice, and he has matters under control. He is at work, “bring(ing) one down” and “exalting another” (7). Because his righteous judgement is already in motion (8), we don’t need to worry that wrong will win or evil flourish. We can be full of praise (1,9) because all of his deeds are good (9).

“I will sing praise” (9). We don’t need to live in fear or anger, thinking that evil has the upper hand. Jesus is in charge. We can trust his rule and look “forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells” (2 Pet 3:13).
