Psalm 75 - 76

Psalm 75 is Asaph's praise to God for His sovereignty. God does as He chooses; and needs to consult no one prior to acting. He decides whom to exalt and whom to humiliate. His actions prove His involvement in the affairs of mankind, and are a source of praise for those fearing Him.

Even in times of judgment, God displays His splendor. Psalm 76's theme is God's majestic judgment; and Asaph highlights the fact that all is done to point to God. Even the activities of man against God speak to the fact that God is there (how can one be angry at a non-entity?). God's wise choices and operations and again praised for their goodness and rightness.
