In ancient Near Eastern culture, a cup often symbolized one's fate or destiny, and in the context of scripture, it frequently represents God's wrath or blessing. The hand of the LORD signifies His sovereign control and authority over the affairs of humanity. This phrase sets the stage for understanding the nature of God's judgment as deliberate and purposeful.full of foaming wine mixed with spices The description of the wine as "foaming" suggests a potent and intoxicating drink, symbolizing the intensity and completeness of God's judgment. In ancient times, wine was often mixed with spices to enhance its flavor and potency, indicating that the judgment is not only powerful but also meticulously prepared. This imagery can be connected to the cup of wrath mentioned in other scriptures, such as <a href="/jeremiah/25-15.htm">Jeremiah 25:15-16</a>, where nations are made to drink from the cup of God's wrath, leading to their downfall.He pours from His cup The act of pouring signifies the execution of judgment. It is a deliberate action by God, emphasizing His active role in administering justice. This phrase highlights the certainty and inevitability of divine judgment upon the wicked. The pouring out of the cup can be seen as a fulfillment of God's promises to judge sin and uphold righteousness, as seen throughout the prophetic books of the Old Testament.and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to the dregs The wicked are those who oppose God's will and live in rebellion against His commandments. The phrase "drink it down to the dregs" indicates that they will experience the full measure of God's judgment, leaving nothing behind. The dregs are the sediment at the bottom of a cup, symbolizing the most bitter and undesirable part. This complete consumption of the cup's contents underscores the totality of God's judgment. This concept is echoed in <a href="/revelation/14-10.htm">Revelation 14:10</a>, where those who worship the beast will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of His anger.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a> The sovereign God who holds the cup of judgment, symbolizing His authority and power over the earth. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_wicked.htm">The Wicked</a> Those who oppose God and His ways, destined to experience His judgment. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_cup.htm">The Cup</a> A metaphor for God's wrath and judgment, often used in the Old Testament to symbolize divine retribution. 4. <a href="/topical/f/foaming_wine_mixed_with_spices.htm">Foaming Wine Mixed with Spices</a> Represents the intensity and completeness of God's judgment. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_earth.htm">The Earth</a> The realm where God's judgment is executed, affecting all inhabitants, especially the wicked.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/u/understanding_god's_justice.htm">Understanding God's Justice</a> God's judgment is inevitable and just.

It appears again in <a href="/psalms/60-3.htm" title="You have showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.">Psalm 60:3</a>, and is worked out in prophetic books, <a href="/isaiah/51-17.htm" title="Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; you have drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.">Isaiah 51:17</a>; <a href="/habakkuk/2-16.htm" title="You are filled with shame for glory: drink you also, and let your foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned to you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.">Habakkuk 2:16</a>, Ac.; <a href="/context/ezekiel/23-32.htm" title="Thus said the Lord GOD; You shall drink of your sister's cup deep and large: you shall be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it contains much.">Ezekiel 23:32-34</a>, and frequently in Jeremiah. The mode of its introduction here, after the statement that God "putteth down one and setteth up another," shows that the poet, in speaking of a "mixture," thinks of the good and bad commingled in the cup, which are, of course, poured out to those whose portion is to be happiness and misery in Israel; while for the heathen, the "wicked of the earth" (possibly including apostate Jews), only the dregs are left to be drained. There are, however, many obscure expressions. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/75.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 8. - For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red.

The "redness" of the wine typifies the shedding of blood. It is full of mixture. Mingled, i.e., with spices, and so made stronger and more efficacious (see <a href="/proverbs/9-2.htm">Proverbs 9:2</a>; <a href="/proverbs/23-30.htm">Proverbs 23:30</a>; <a href="/songs/8-2.htm">Song of Solomon 8:2</a>; <a href="/isaiah/5-22.htm">Isaiah 5:22</a>). And he poureth out of the same. God pours out the cup of his fury on all nations, or persons, whom he chooses to afflict, and they are compelled to drink of it (<a href="/jeremiah/25-15.htm">Jeremiah 25:15-28</a>). But the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. To drink a cup, dregs and all, is to empty it wholly, to swallow down all its contents. <a href="/commentaries/psalms/75-8.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>For כִּ֤י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction a cup כ֪וֹס (ḵō·ws) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3563.htm">Strong's 3563: </a> A cup, a lot, some unclean bird, an owl is in the hand בְּֽיַד־ (bə·yaḏ-) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand of the LORD, יְהוָ֡ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel full of מָ֥לֵא (mā·lê) Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4392.htm">Strong's 4392: </a> Full, filling, fulness, fully foaming חָמַ֨ר ׀ (ḥā·mar) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2560.htm">Strong's 2560: </a> To boil up, to ferment, to glow, to smear with pitch wine וְיַ֤יִן (wə·ya·yin) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3196.htm">Strong's 3196: </a> Wine, intoxication mixed with spices, מֶסֶךְ֮ (me·seḵ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4538.htm">Strong's 4538: </a> A mixture, of wine with spices He pours וַיַּגֵּ֪ר (way·yag·gêr) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5064.htm">Strong's 5064: </a> To flow, to stretch out, to pour out, down, to deliver over from it, מִ֫זֶּ֥ה (miz·zeh) Preposition-m | Pronoun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2088.htm">Strong's 2088: </a> This, that and אַךְ־ (’a·ḵōš-) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_389.htm">Strong's 389: </a> A particle of affirmation, surely all כֹּ֝֗ל (kōl) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the wicked רִשְׁעֵי־ (riš·‘ê-) Adjective - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7563.htm">Strong's 7563: </a> Wrong, an, bad person of the earth אָֽרֶץ׃ (’ā·reṣ) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land drink it down יִשְׁתּ֑וּ (yiš·tū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8354.htm">Strong's 8354: </a> To imbibe it to the dregs. שְׁ֭מָרֶיהָ (mā·re·hā) Noun - masculine plural construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8105.htm">Strong's 8105: </a> Something preserved, the settlings, of wine <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/psalms/75-8.htm">Psalm 75:8 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/psalms/75-8.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 75:8 For in the hand of Yahweh there (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/75-7.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 75:7"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 75:7" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/75-9.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 75:9"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 75:9" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
