Psalms 75:4

Ver. 4. I said unto the fools,.... To the vain gloriosos, proud boasters, mockers, and scoffers at the day of judgment, and burning of the world:

deal not foolishly; by glorying in themselves, boasting of their riches, and trusting in them; singing a requiem to themselves on account of their abundance, and by putting away the evil day far from them:

and to the wicked, lift not up the horn; of power, grandeur, and wealth, and use it to the injury of others; or be so elated with it as to look with disdain on others; or imagine they shall always continue in this exalted state, as antichrist the horned beast does, Re 18:7, the allusion is to horned beasts, particularly harts, which lift up their heads and horns in great pride {p}: the phrase signifies to behave proudly and haughtily.

{p} Vid. "Suidam in voce" ekepoutiav.
