Gill's Notes on the Bible
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off,.... Therefore let them not lift up the horn on high: "horns" denote the power and authority of wicked men, their kingdoms and states; both Rome Pagan and Rome Papal are said to have ten horns, which are interpreted of ten kings or kingdoms; and which will be cut off when the vials of God's wrath are poured out on the antichristian states; which vials will be filled from the cup which is in the hand of the Lord,
Revelation 12:1, the Jews b interpret this of the ten horns of the nations of the world, that shall be cut off in future time; and Jarchi particularly of the horns of Esau, by whom he means Rome, or the Roman empire:
but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted; either of the righteous one Christ, for the word is in the singular number; he who is the Lord our righteousness, whose power and authority, kingdom and government, shall be enlarged and increased, signified by the budding of the horn of David, and the exaltation of the horn of his Messiah, 1 Samuel 2:10 or of everyone of the righteous, which will be when the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, and they shall reign with Christ on earth a thousand years, Daniel 7:27. Kimchi says this will be in the war of Gog and Magog, which is expected by the Jews.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
All the horns of the wicked ... - See the notes at Psalms 75:4. The meaning is, I will destroy all their power. This, too, may refer to the author of the psalm, supposed to be a prince or ruler about to ascend the throne, and to assert his rightful authority. This indicates his purpose in regard to his administration (compare Psalms 75:2); the principles on which he would administer his government. It would be an administration under which the wicked would be punished, and where the righteous would be protected. In this manner it would be an emblem of the administration of God. All just human governments are founded on the same principles as the government of God. People have only to apply to the affairs of civil society the principles on which God governs the universe, to constitute the most perfect human administration. Those which come nearest to that, most nearly approximate perfection; and civil governments will reach their end, and accomplish their design, only when those principles shall be universally applied among people.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 75:10. All the horns of the wicked — All their power and influence, will I cut off; and will exalt and extend the power of the righteous. The psalmist is said to do these things, because he is as the mouth of God to denounce them. All was punctually fulfilled: the wicked - the Babylonians, were all cut off; the righteous - the Jews, called so from the holy covenant, which required righteousness, were delivered and exalted.
ANALYSIS OF THE SEVENTY-FIFTH PSALM
Bishop Nicholson supposes that David was the author of this Psalm; and that he composed it on his inauguration or entrance upon the kingdom; and by it he gives us an example of a good king.
There are three chief parts in this Psalm: -
I. A doxology, Psalms 75:1; repeated, Psalms 75:9.
II. His profession how to perform the regal office, Psalms 75:2-3; Psalms 75:10.
III. His rebuke of foolish men for mistakes occasioned, -
1. Partly by their pride when they rise to great places, Psalms 75:4-5.
2. That they do not consider whence their preferment comes, Psalms 75:6-7.
3. That they judge not rightly of afflictions, Psalms 75:8.
I. The doxology or thanksgiving.
1. He doubles it to show that it should be frequently done: "Unto thee do we give thanks; unto thee," c.
2. His reason for it: "For that thy name is near," - thy help is always at hand. "The Lord is nigh to all that call upon him."
3. Of which he had experience in his exaltation to the kingdom, which he calls God's "wondrous works."
II. How the office of a good king is to be discharged.
1. I will judge uprightly.
2. To rectify disorders. They had need of a just and upright king. 1. The land and its inhabitants were disorganized. 2. He was the only stay and support of the state: "I bear up the pillars."
III. His rebuke of bad men.
1. They were fools, and dealt unjustly.
2. Wicked, and vaunted their wealth and power.
3. They used their power to oppress.
4. They were obstinate in their oppression of the poor. He refers to their false judgments.
1. They supposed that their authority and influence came by their own merit and for them they were accountable to none.
2. They did not consider that God was the author of power, c.
3. Their third mistake was, they imputed afflictions to a wrong cause, and did not consider that they came from God.
To show this, the Psalmist uses an elegant comparison, comparing God to the master of a feast, who invites and entertains all kinds of men at his table who has a cup of mixed wine in his hand, by which he represents the miseries of this life. To all God reaches this cup; and every one drinks of it, some more, some less.
1. "In the hand of the Lord there is a cup." He apportions the afflictions of men.
2. "The wine is red." The high-coloured feculent wine, i.e., afflictions.
3. "It is full of mixture," not all sour, nor sweet, nor bitter. The strength of it is tempered by God to the circumstances of his creatures.
4. "He poureth out of the same." He gives to all, some even to his own children. ALL must drink of this cup.
5. But the lees or dregs of it "all the wicked of the earth shall wring out." Those who are incorrigible have afflictions without benefit; they wring the dregs out. On them God's judgments fall without mitigation.
He concludes the Psalm with -
1. A repetition of his thanks: "I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob."
2. A protestation of his duty: 1. "I will cut off the horns of the wicked." 2. "I will exalt the horns of the righteous." Those who exalt themselves shall be abased: those who humble themselves shall be exalted.
Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento,
(Hae tibi erunt artes) pacisque imponere morem;
Parcere subjectis, et debellare superbos.
VIRG. AEn. lib. vi., ver. 851.
"But, Rome, 'tis thine alone, with awful sway
To rule mankind, and make the world obey,
Disposing peace and war thy own majestic way:
To tame the proud, the fettered slave to free:
These are imperial arts, and worthy thee."
DRYDEN.
These lines of the Roman poet contain precisely the same sentiment that is expressed in the tenth verse of the Psalm. And thus God acts in the government of the world, dealing with nations as they have dealt with others: so the conquerors are conquered; the oppressed, raised to honour and dominion.
