1Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

Matthew Henry on Psalm 75:3
He promises himself that his government would be a public blessing to Israel, v. 3. The present state of the kingdom was very bad: The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved; and no marvel, when the former reign was so dissolute that all went to wrack and ruin. There was a general corruption of manners, for want of putting the laws in execution against vice and profaneness.
