The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 75:3

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved. They "melt" with fear (Psalms 44:6), either at God's coming in judgment, or at the dissolution which a hostile invasion is bringing on their land.

I bear up the pillars of it. Meanwhile God upholds, and will uphold, both the moral and physical order of things. He will neither suffer the earth to be moved, nor the supports on which society depends to fail and crumble away.
