Psalm 52:<\/p>\n

Author:<\/em>
\nKing David–the second king of Israel and father of the Davidic royal and messianic dynasty. David composed over seventy of the 150 psalms of Sefer Tehillim.<\/p>\n

Genre:<\/em>
\nPsalm of Individual Lament–This psalm was written from the perspective of the individual worshipper, who cries out to God in his time of need. It is characterized as an address to God involving a complaint, followed by a request and ending with an expression of trust.<\/p>\n

Chapter Summary:<\/em>
\nKing David speaks against Doeg the Edomite, and in so doing laments all who allow themselves to be misled by their evil inclinations.<\/p>\n

This psalm consists of eleven verses, subdivided into two sections.
\nVerses 1 & 2 serve as a heading.
\nIn verses 3-7, King David rebukes the wicked, evil man for his moral corruption, and further describes his punishment.
\nIn verses 8-11, he records what the righteous will say in their rejoicing in the downfall of the wicked.<\/p>\n

Technical Terminology: <\/em>
\n\u05de\u05e9\u05db\u05d9\u05dc–Maskil<\/em>–a discerning person; alternatively, a giver of instruction, perhaps denoting a translator of the chapter (Rashi).
\n\u05e1\u05dc\u05d4–Selah<\/em>–While its meaning is unclear, the most familiar option is that it is a musical notation, instructing the Levitical orchestra to pause its singing and playing of instruments. Alternatively, \u201cSelah\u201d may mean \u201ceverlasting\u201d.<\/p>\n

Shimush Tehillim–When to Say:<\/em>
\nTo stop speaking evil gossip–Verse 4 states: \u201cWickedness does your tongue devise, like a sharpened razor, working deceitfully.\u201d Verse 10 adds: \u201cBut I am like an evergreen olive tree in the House of God; I put my trust in the kindness of God, forever and ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biblical Personalities: <\/em>
\nAchimelech–the Kohen (Priest).
\nSaul–the first King of Israel. After Saul disobeyed God\u2019s command to destroy all of Amalek, the prophet Shmuel (Samuel) dethroned Saul and anointed David.
\nDoeg the Edomite–King Saul\u2019s chief herdsman. Saul was jealous of David and was looking to murder him. When David fled to the priestly city of Nov, near Jerusalem, where the Tabernacle was placed, Achimelech gave him bread and a sword. Doeg reported it to Saul, intimating that Achimelech desired to pronounce David the King over Israel. This aroused Saul\u2019s anger causing him to condemn the entire city of Nov to death. <\/p>\n
