Psalms 52:1 KJV
To the chief
Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul,
and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.
Why boastest
thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth
continually.
The Situation
In the title
Doeg saw David with the
priest (who did not know David was fleeing King Saul) and turned him in to
Saul. Saul then killed all the priests at Nob. A tragic situation.
The Scolding
Vs 1-7
David's prayer/scolding of
Doeg is merciless. This man, David was confident, would pay for his sin.
The Standing
Vs 8-9
Though David was in flight
for his life and though a terrible thing had happened in Nob, David's faith was
in God. He could not have known what would be the eventual outcome, but he did
know that God was over it. He therefore stood tall and strong and rejoiced in
his faith.
We don’t always know why the
tragic things happen around us, to us or sometimes because of us. However, if
we follow the Lord through it we can still praise Him and stand in His grace.
