Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 52:1-9

LII. The Psalmist denounces an enemy of his who trusts in his wealth and in unscrupulous falsehood. He is confident that this adversary will be rooted up and that he himself will flourish and abide in the Temple. The reference to the Temple and the complete silence about the massacre of the priests shows that the title gives an impossible explanation of the Ps. Psalms 52:1 b. Read, “ Against the godly man continually.” Psalms 52:2 . Translate “ O thou that workest deceitfully.” But the text... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 52:6

The righteous shall see, to wit, thy remarkable downfall, and consequently shall survive thee in spite of all thy power and malice against them. Fear; both reverence God’s just judgment upon thee, and be afraid of provoking God to send like judgment upon them. Shall laugh at him; not taking pleasure in his ruin as such, but only in the glory of God’s justice vindicated thereby, Revelation 18:20, and deriding their vain and carnal confidence in their wicked courses. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 52:7

The man: these are the triumphant words of the righteous. This is the great and famous man, take special notice of him, and of his doleful end. That made not God his strength that trusted and feared Saul more than God, and was willing to purchase Saul’s favour with God’s displeasure. Trusted in the abundance of his riches; thought himself secure in his great and growing wealth, without God’s protection or blessing. read more

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the Chief Musician, Maschil, a Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.”“To the Chief Musician,” see on the title to Psalms 39:0.“Maschil,” an instruction, a didactic poem. “The didactic character of this Psalm,” says Moll, “which is brought into prominence by the title, and its devotional aim, are especially noticeable, from the fact that, with respect to its form, the invocation of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 52:1-9

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Psalms 51:1-19 .David is surely one of the most outstanding characters of the Old Testament. He was greatly hated and greatly loved. He had the capacity to inspire tremendous emotions in people, on both ends of the spectrum. He is always talking about his enemies that are trying to do him in. But yet, there was a great number of people who really followed David with a great devotion. David was called a man after God's own heart. And this appellation was given... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 52:1-9

The title of this psalm is not disputed. It relates to the treachery of Doeg. See the history, 1 Samuel 21:1-7; 1 Samuel 22:9-23. Psalms 52:1 . Why boastest thou, oh Doeg, of thy superior loyalty to Saul, at the expense of a thousand innocent lives slaughtered in Nob. He arrayed his perfidy in the garb of virtuous patriotism. Oh mighty man, captain of Saul’s shepherds, a captain in the army of Saul. If Doeg had thought it his duty to tell Saul of David’s calling at Nob, and no man with... read more

Psalms 52:1-9Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man?A social betrayerThis psalm may be regarded as presenting to us a social betrayer in a variety of aspects. Doeg was an “informer,” one whom Webster defines as “a man who informs against others from base or unworthy motives.”I. The social betrayer depicted.1. Pride (Psalms 52:1). Proud of the secret he holds. He feels he has the reputation and destiny of some one entrusted to him.2. Malice (Psalms 52:2).3. Craft (Psalms 52:2). He... read more

Psalms 52:6-7The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him.The righteous observe the teachings of lifeThe fear which it produces in the “righteous “ is reverential awe, not dread lest the same should happen to them. Whether or not history and experience teach evil men that “verily there is a God that judgeth,” their lessons are not wasted on devout and righteous souls. But this is the tragedy of life, that its teachings are prized most by those who have already learned them,... read more

Psa 52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: Ver. 6. The righteous also shall see and fear ] With a reverential fear, from which shall spring sincere service. Aliorum perditio tua sit cautio, Let other men’s perdition be our caution; let us wash our feet in the blood of the wicked. There is an elegance in the original that cannot be translated into English. And shall laugh at him ] With a holy laughter; not that of irrision, but of exultation in God, or his... read more
