I make its pillars secure.” ²  (Selah)

they obeyed his regulations and the ordinance he gave them.

[75:3]  ¹ tn Heb “melt.”

[75:3]  ² tn The statement is understood in a generalizing sense; God typically prevents the world from being overrun by chaos. One could take this as referring to an anticipated event, “I will make its pillars secure.”
