52:1 1 David describeth the arrogant tyranny of his adversary Doeg: who by false surmises cause Ahimelech with the rest of the Priests to be slain. 5 David prophesieth his destruction, 6 and encourageth the faithful to put their confidence in God, whose judgments are most sharp against his adversaries. 9 And finally, he rendereth thanks to God for his deliverance. In this Psalm is timely set forth the kingdom of Antichrist. To him that excelleth. A Psalm of David to give instruction. When Doeg the Edomite came and showed Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in thy wickedness, O man of power? the loving-kindness of God endureth daily.
52:2 Thy tongue imagineth mischief, and is like a sharp razor, that cutteth deceitfully.
52:3 Thou dost love evil more than good, and lies more than to speak the truth. Selah.
52:4 Thou lovest all words that may destroy: O deceitful tongue!
52:5 So shall God destroy thee forever: he shall take thee and pluck thee out of thy tabernacle, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
52:6 The righteous also shall see it, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,
52:7 Behold the man that took not God for his strength, but trusteth unto the multitude of his riches, and put his strength in his malice.
52:8 But I shall be like a green olive tree in the house of God: for I trusted in the mercy of God forever and ever.
52:9 I will always praise thee, for that thou hast done this, and I will hope in thy name, because it is good before thy Saints.
