PSALM 52
I see nothing especial to remark in this Psalm. It is the helpless but perfect assurance of the believer — the beloved, in the Remnant, contrasted with the enmity, presumption, and [p. 127] therefore destruction of the last enemy, the Edomite, and its consequences. It is simple and pointed.
We have the energy of the Spirit of Christ, risen up after Israel’s confession of sin, to contrast the position and character of Antichrist and the righteous Remnant — in fact of Antichrist and Christ in Spirit. Violence, self-confidence and deceit constitute the character of the man of the earth — the contrast is dependence. This is always the character of Christ in the Psalms.
