What does Psalms 75:4 mean?

The psalmist is speaking directly to people who are full of themselves, telling them to stop their bragging and stop acting like they're invincible. "Lifting up the horn" was an ancient way of showing strength and defiance, so this is really about not flaunting power or acting superior. What makes this verse powerful is that the psalmist is naming something many of us feel: the frustration of watching people act like they're untouchable or better than everyone else. It's a reminder that boasting and arrogance don't go unnoticed, and that there's something bigger than human pride at work in the world.
