Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 52:1-5

The title is a brief account of the story which the psalm refers to. David now, at length, saw it necessary to quit the court, and shift for his own safety, for fear of Saul, who had once and again attempted to murder him. Being unprovided wit harms and victuals, he, by a wile, got Ahimelech the priest to furnish him with both. Doeg an Edomite happened to be there, and he went and informed Saul against Ahimelech, representing him as confederate with a traitor, upon which accusation Saul... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 52:6-9

David was at this time in great distress; the mischief Doeg had done him was but the beginning of his sorrows; and yet here we have him triumphing, and that is more than rejoicing, in tribulation. Blessed Paul, in the midst of his troubles, is in the midst of his triumphs, 2 Cor. 2:14. David here triumphs, I. In the fall of Doeg. Yet, lest this should look like personal revenge, he does not speak of it as how own act, but the language of other righteous persons. They shall observe God's... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 52:4

Thou lovest all devouring words ,.... Or "words of swallowing up" F25 דברי בלע "verba absorptionis", Vatablus, Gejerus, Schmidt. ; such as lies, calumnies, and detractions are, which devour the characters and reputations of men, and are the cause sometimes of their utter ruin and destruction; of the devouring and blasphemous words of antichrist see Revelation 13:5 ; O thou deceitful tongue ; See Gill on Psalm 52:2 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 52:5

God shall likewise destroy thee for ever ,.... As a just retaliation for the mischief done to others; or, "therefore God shall destroy" F26 גם δια τουτο , Sept. "propterea", V. L. "idcirco etiam", Piscator; "ideo etiam", Michaelis. , &c.; even body and soul in hell, with an everlasting destruction, which will be the case of every wicked man, and particularly of the antichristian party, Revelation 14:10 ; the word is used of breaking down the house in which the leprosy was, ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 52:6

The righteous also shall see ,.... The Targum adds, "the punishment of the wicked"; particularly what is before predicted of Doeg. The judgments of God upon the ungodly, as they are certain, so they will be visible, either in this world, or in that to come, Revelation 15:4 ; and fear ; the Targum adds, "from before the Lord"; not with a slavish fear, with a dread of the same punishment, from which they are free, through the righteousness of Christ imputed to them, by which they are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 52:7

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength ,.... The Targum renders it, "that made not the Word of the Lord his strength". These are the words the righteous would say, when they should see the destruction of Doeg: see the man, the mighty man, and his end; what all his ill gotten honour and riches are come to; and what his wickedness, deceit, and cruelty, have brought upon him. The righteous make the Lord their strength, put their trust in him, in whom is everlasting strength; do... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 52:8

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God ,.... Or rather it should be supplied, "I shall be" F4 "Ero", Piscator, Cocceius, Gejerus. ; since David was at this time an exile from the house of God: and this expresses his faith and confidence, that, notwithstanding his present troubles, he should be restored again, and be in a very flourishing condition, in the church of God; which is here meant by "the house of God": it being of his building, and where he dwells, and where... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 52:9

I will praise thee for ever ,.... Both in this world, as long as he lived, and had a being in it; and in the world to come, to all eternity. This is a resolution respecting what he would do, when he should be in the happy condition he was confident of; because thou hast done it ; the Targum interprets it, "the revenge of my judgment"; meaning the vengeance of God on Doeg; and to the same sense Aben Ezra and Kimchi: though it may refer to the comfortable and happy condition he should be... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 52:6

The righteous also shall see, and fear - The thing shall be done in the sight of the saints; they shall see God's judgments on the workers of iniquity; and they shall fear a God so holy and just, and feel the necessity of being doubly on their guard lest they fall into the same condemnation. But instead of וייראו veyirau , "and they shall fear," three of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., with the Syriac, have וישמחו veyismachu , "and shall rejoice;" and, from the following words, "and... read more
