Psalms 52

Let the king - God, the supreme monarch, the king of kings, and in a peculiar manner the king of Israel.

Psalms 52:3

Let the king - God, the supreme monarch, the king of kings, and in a peculiar manner the king of Israel.

Psalms 52:4

Prevent - Crowning him with manifold blessings, both more and sooner than he expected. With - With excellent blessings.

Psalms 52:5

For ever - Thou gavest him a long life and reign here, and after that didst translate him to live with thee for ever. But this was more eminently fulfilled in Christ, who asked of his father, life, or to be saved from death, Hebrews 5:7, though with submission to his will: but his father, though he saw it necessary to take away his temporal life, yet instantly gave him another, far more noble, even the perfect possession of an everlasting life both in his soul and body, at his right hand.

Psalms 52:6

Glory - His fame or renown. Salvation - By reason of those great and glorious deliverances which thou hast wrought both for him, and by him.

Psalms 52:7

Countenance - Smiling upon him, by thy grace and favour.
