Commentary on Psalms 52:5
Theological / DevotionalDestroy thee. The reference is to the talebearer. The idea of complete destruction is emphasized by three additional verbal phrases: “shall take thee away,” “pluck thee out,” “root thee out.”
Dwelling place. Literally, “tent.”
Root thee out. As a tree is torn up from the roots and left to perish, in sharp contrast with the state of the righteous depicted in vs. 8, 9.
