Psalm 52:1–5, “Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.”
This Psalm was written during an extremely difficult time in David’s life. He was married to king Saul’s daughter but the king had decided to kill David because he was jealous of him. David ran away just before the king sent men to take him and execute him. David had to run with no weapons or supplies. As he fled he went past the place where some priests lived and worshipped the Lord. David asked them for food and weapons. These men gave David some food to eat and they gave him Goliath’s sword as a weapon. When king Saul discovered that David had escaped he was very angry. A man called Doeg, from Edom, a foreigner, told the king that the priests had given David food and help. Saul, who was tormented by and evil spirit, sent some of his soldiers and killed almost all of that priestly family. When David heard of this, from one of the sons who had escaped, he was devastated and wrote this Psalm, Doeg was feeling good about himself and the rewards he had gained from this betrayal. David warned Doeg not to be too proud and boastful about his betrayal and the rewards that came from this terrible act. He told the Edomite that he would receive the true rewards of his lies and deceit.
