Many psalms are tied to specific historical events, and knowing this history is important for interpreting these songs correctly. In this message, W. Robert Godfrey examines Psalms 52- Chapter 52 1 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God `endureth' continually. 2 Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 3 Thou lovest evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah 4 Thou lovest all devouring words, thou deceitful tongue. 5 God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah 6 The righteous also shall see `it', and fear, And shall laugh at him, `saying', 7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness. 8 But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever. 9 I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
