Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 52:9

Theological / Devotional

Thou hast done it. David expresses his faith that his prayer has been answered (see Ps. 54:7): he has been delivered from Doeg’s treachery.

Wait on thy name. See Ps. 25:3, 5 ; 27:14. David expresses absolute trust in God and dependence on Him.

Saints. Heb. chasidim (see Additional Note on Ps. 36). For the great mercy shown him in this affair, David vows to offer public praise (see Ps. 22:25 ; 35:18). The testimony meeting has a place of real value among God’s “saints” of the last days.
