What does Psalms 75:1-3 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Asaph gave thanks to God for Israel because God was near His people and had performed wondrous works ( Psalm 75:1).
He then put words in God"s mouth that were appropriate in view of earlier revelation. God judges when He decides the time is right, and He judges fairly. His judgment can devastate the world, but He sustains it nevertheless.
