02.053. Psalm 53

Psalms 53:1-6 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil,
A Psalm of David. This psalm is much the same as Psalms 14:1-7. It speaks, (1.) Humbling convictions to all men, of their sinfulness of nature and practice, Psalms 53:1-3. (2.) Fearful terrors to them who persecute and oppress the people of God, Psalms 53:4-5. (3.) Abundant comfort, in the salvation of God to his persecuted saints, Psalms 53:5-6.

Learn, my soul, frequently to review thy original and thy contracted filthiness. Admire the patience and mercy of God towards mankind. Trust not in man, for wherein is he to be accounted of! But in the full assurance of faith, wait patiently for God’s salvation.
