<p id="Ps52_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',52,'1-9');">Psa 52:1-9</a>. <p> Compare <a onclick="return mV('1Sa',21,'1-10');">1Sa 21:1-10</a> 22:1-10 , for the history of the title. <a onclick="return mV('Psa',52,1);">Psa 52:1</a> gives the theme; the boast of the wicked over the righteous is vain, for God constantly cares for His people. This is expanded by describing the malice and deceit, and then the ruin, of the wicked, and the happy state of the pious.
|
|
<p><b>1. mighty man</b>—literally, "hero." Doeg may be thus addressed, ironically, in respect of his might in slander.
|
|
<p id="Ps52_2"><b>2. tongue</b>—for self.
|
|
<br><br><b>mischiefs</b>—evil to others (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',5,9);">Psa 5:9</a> 38:12).
|
|
<br><br><b>working deceitfully</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',10,7);">Psa 10:7</a>), as a keen, smoothly moving razor, cutting quietly, but deeply.
|
|
<p id="Ps52_4"><b>4. all-devouring</b>—literally, "swallowing," which utterly destroy (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',21,9);">Psa 21:9</a> 35:25).
|
|
<p id="Ps52_5"><b>5. likewise</b>—or, "so," "also," as you have done to others God will do to you (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',18,27);">Psa 18:27</a>). The following terms describe the most entire ruin.
|
|
<p id="Ps52_6"><b>6. shall...fear</b>—regard with religious awe.
|
|
<br><br><b>laugh at him</b>—for his folly;
|
|
<p id="Ps52_7"><b>7.</b> for trusting in riches and being strong in "wickedness."
|
|
<br><br><b>wickedness</b>—literally, "mischief" (<a href= "#" onclick="return mV('Psa',52,2);">Psa 52:2</a>), instead of trusting in God.
|
|
<br><br><b>the man</b>—literally, "the mighty man," or "hero" (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',52,1);">Psa 52:1</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps52_8"><b>8.</b> The figure used is common (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',1,3);">Psa 1:3</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',11,16);">Jer 11:16</a>).

<br><br><b>green</b>—fresh.

<br><br><b>house,</b> etc.—in communion with God (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',27,4,5);">Psa 27:4-5</a>).
|

<br><br><b>for ever and ever</b>—qualifies "mercy."
|
|
<p id="Ps52_9"><b>9. hast done</b>—that is, what the context supplies, "preserved me" (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',22,31);">Psa 22:31</a>).

<br><br><b>wait...name</b>—hope in Thy perfections, manifested for my good (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',5,11);">Psa 5:11</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',20,1);">20:1</a>).
|
