For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and] drink [them].

Commentary on Psalms 75:8

Theological / Devotional

Cup. God is represented as holding in His hand a cup for men to drink (see on Ps. 60:3; cf. Isa. 51:17, 22; Rev. 14:9, 10).

Full of mixture. Mixed with spices, to make the wine stronger and increase its intoxicating power (see Prov. 9:2; 23:30; Isa. 5:22).

Dregs. The wicked must empty the cup, drinking its entire contents. This impressive picture of the righteous judgment of God is well calculated to inspire a fear of sin.
