When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up its pillars. Selah
The whole Church finds cause to rejoice when she reflects that the world is governed by God's will alone and that she herself is sustained by His grace and power. This truth emboldens her to triumph over the proud despisers of God, whom their own presumption drives headlong into excess.

Commenting on Psalm 75:1-10
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved. When anarchy is abroad, and tyrants are in power, everything is unloosed, dissolution threatens all things, the solid mountains of government melt as wax; but even then the Lord upholds and sustains the right. I bear up the pillars of it. Hence, there is no real cause for fear.
We must thank God again and again, not once or twice as if that suffices. Our thanksgivings must be repeated, just as our prayers were earnest when we sought mercy. When we share with others in God's mercies, we must join with them in offering praise.
