psalm-52:6-53:6

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 52:6

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

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

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 52:6

Verse 6 6The righteous also shall see, and fear (280) He here adduces, as another reason why the ruin of Doeg might be expected, that an important end would be obtained by it, in so far as it would promote religion in the hearts of the Lord’s people, and afford them a refreshing display of the Divine justice. Should it take place, it would be witnessed by the ungodly as well as by the righteous; but there are two reasons why the Psalmist represents it as being seen especially by the latter. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 52:1-9

Metrically, the psalm seems to consist of three strophes, extending respectively to four, three, and two verses. In the first strophe Doeg's wickedness is set forth ( 1 Samuel 21:1-4 ); in the second ( 1 Samuel 21:5-7 ), he is threatened with God's vengeance; in the third ( 1 Samuel 21:8 , 1 Samuel 21:9 ), David thanks God for the vengeance which he has executed, and declares his intention always to trust in him. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 52:1-9

A betrayer. The "mighty man" might have been Doeg or some other who had gained notoriety as a betrayer. I. THE ODIOUSNESS OF HIS CHARACTER . It is marked by deceitfulness. Craft and lying are the tools of the betrayer. He cannot get on without them, and he waxes expert in their use. He may pretend friendship, but malice is in his heart. Even if he speaks truth, it is not in love, but in hate. "Whispering tongues can poison truth," Beat on mischief, he does not think of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 52:1-9

"This psalm is A stern upbraiding addressed to the man who, unscrupulous in the exercise of his power, and proud of his wealth, finds his delight in all the arts of the practised liar." I. THE ARROGANCE OF A WICKED MAN IN WORLDLY POWER . 1 . He boasts of the evil which he does. He is not ashamed of his wickedness. 2 . He is bent upon ever new forms of mischief. Works deceitfully, and not openly, and his tongue, as the instrument of his mind, is ever... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 52:6

The righteous also shall see, and fear . Every manifestation of the Divine power and justice produces in the righteous man a feeling of awe. And shall laugh at him; literally, over him. This awe does not, however, prevent him from indulging in something like derision of his fallen enemy—or, at least, it did not under the old covenant, when men had not yet been taught that they ought to "love" their enemies. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 52:6

The righteous also shaIl see - See the notes at Psalms 37:34.And fear - The effect of such a judgment will be to produce reverence in the minds of good people - a solemn sense of the justice of God; to make them tremble at such fearful judgments; and to fear lest they should violate the law, and bring judgment on themselves.And shall laugh at him - Compare the notes at Psalms 2:4. See also Psalms 58:10; Psalms 64:9-10; Proverbs 1:26. The idea here is not exultation in the “sufferings” of... read more

Psalms 52:6-7. The righteous also shall see Namely, thy remarkable downfall, and, consequently, shall survive thee, in spite of all thy malice and violence against them; and fear Shall reverence God’s just judgment upon thee, and be afraid of provoking him. And shall laugh at him Not taking pleasure in his ruin, considered in itself, but only in the glory of God’s justice vindicated thereby, (Revelation 18:20,) and deriding his vain and carnal confidence in his wicked courses. “The... read more
