Though the earth and all its inhabitants quake,
    I make steady its pillars.”(A)
Selah

Do not raise your horns against heaven!
    Do not speak with a stiff neck!”(C)

  1. 75:5 Do not raise your horns!: the horn is the symbol of strength; to raise one’s horn is to exalt one’s own power as Ps 75:5 explains.

To the arrogant(A) I say, ‘Boast no more,’(B)
    and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.[a](C)
Do not lift your horns against heaven;
    do not speak so defiantly.(D)’”
