Psalms 52:3

Thou lovest evil more than good ,.... Indeed not good at all; such comparatives being strong negatives; see Psalm 118:8 ; a wicked man loves evil, and nothing else; his carnal mind being enmity to all that is good

and lying rather than to speak righteousness ; as appears by his affirming that Ahimelech inquired of the Lord for David, when he did not, 1 Samuel 22:10 ; and by suffering some things to pass for truths which were falsehoods, when it lay in his power to have disproved them: and such a lover of lies is antichrist; see 1 Timothy 4:2 .

Selah ; on this word; see Gill on Psalm 3:2 . The Targum renders the word "Selah" here "for ever", as in Psalm 52:5 .
