Psalms

Chapter 52
{Psalm of Instruction (of Doeg the Edomite)}
1~~ {Title} To the chief musician Machil/Maskiyl,
when Doeg the Edomite came
and told {snitch and lie by distortion} Saul,
and said unto him,
"David came to the house of the Ahimelech/'Achiymelek."
{David responding now in this psalm}
Why are you boasting {about yourself} . . .
of evil/destruction {the massacre of Nob},
O 'mighty man'/hero {sanctified sarcasm}
The grace of God {El - God in His Power}
continues all day long {means every day - all the day}.

{Note: Doeg has just slaughtered all the residence of Nob. They were all innocent people with no weapons to defend themselves. This was nothing in which to boast! Doeg is in reversionism. Reversionism creates pseudo-heroes. However, in the eyes of Saul he was a public hero. He was one of Saul's cabinet members and in charge of one of the herds of Israel. He was in Nob when David came through (see also I Samuel Chapter 22).}

{Verses 2-4: Indictment of a Reversionist Believer - The REAL Doeg}
2~~Your {Doeg} tongue plots/devises catastrophes . . .
like a sharpened razor . . .
manufacturing out of something {' asah - mental attitude sins}
fraud/deceit {Doeg lied to Saul about Ahimelech and Nob}!

{Note: 'asah - manufacturing something out of something. Here the lies were made out of the mental attitude sins of greed and envy and hatred.}

{Note: Nob was the center of bible teaching and Doeg wiped it out. Doeg wanted to advance himself out of the murder of the High Priest and all the Levitical priest and the destruction of the city of Nob.}

{Description of Anyone in Reversionism}
3~~You {Doeg} love evil more than good . . .
fabrication/lying rather than speaking righteousness {the truth}.
Selah.

{Note: Doeg is the type of person who would rather lie than tell the truth even if telling the truth is easier! Their lives become a lie! You are what you Think!}

{Note: Selah is a musical term meaning 'the singer takes a rest while the musicians play on'. This is a perfect picture of mankind resting in the grace of God - which continues all the day!}

{Center of Doeg's Life and David Declares what Doeg Really is}
4~~You have loved all the words of destruction.
O . . .{you - Doeg} tongue of deceit!

{Note: Doeg made up a lie about Ahimelech. Saul believed the lie and ordered the destruction of Nob with 80 Levitical priests and all the women and children in the city. This applies to all two-faced people in the world! We are warned!}

{Judgment of Doeg - David left it in the Hands of the Lord}
5~~also El -The Powerful God -
shall destroy you bit by bit {nathats}
- with no return/permanently.
He shall pick you up and shake you and tear you to bits
from your tent {Doeg's dwelling place},
and root you out of the land of the living
  {sin unto death administered to Doeg}.
Selah {rest on that!}.

{Note: The Hebrew syntax indicates that Doeg died slowly and painfully over a long period of time. Nathats actually was used in the destruction of a building - brick by brick - over a long period of time.}

6~~The righteous ones {SuperGrace believers}
also shall observe {Doeg's discipline},
and have respect {for the way God handles these things},
and shall laugh at him {Doeg}.

{Note: These are the people trained in the cave of Adullam - see II Samuel Chapter23}

7~~ Behold the mighty warrior
who did not appoint/establish
Elohiym as his fortification
  {GAPing it to an ECS - describes a reversionist}.
But trusted/depended on/'had confidence in' {batach}
the abundance/multiplication of his riches {rewards from Saul},
and tried to make himself strong through calamity.

{Note: Principal: You cannot build yourself up by knocking others down. Doeg tried to make himself strong by destroying the innocent.}

{Note: batach means to trust, have faith in, have confidence in. This is important because Doeg had his confidence in riches. In the next verse, David placed his confidence in the Lord!}

{SuperGrace Attitude of David}
8~~But I {David} . . .
{am} like a green olive tree {Jewish symbol of GREAT prosperity}
planted in the house of God/Elohiym,
have trusted {batach} in the grace of God/Elohiym
forever and ever 9~~
I have been caused to praise You {God} forever,
because You have 'done it'/'manufactured it out of something'
  {'asah - make something out of something - SuperGrace}.
And I have trusted {qavah} in Your Name/Essence
in the presence
of your 'SuperGrace believers'/'faithful ones' {chaciyd}.

{Note: Principal: You never lose if your prosperity is established in the Word of God. Doeg destroyed Nob and killed the priests and innocents, but the doctrine in David's soul could not be destroyed. It remained forever.}

{Note: 'Asah means to manufacture something out of something else. This verse shows us how God blesses SuperGrace believers. He knew it all in eternity past and manufactured blessings out of your SuperGrace status - just for you - and for time and eternity. The SuperGrace believer reaps what God sows!}

{Note: Qavah is the strongest word for faith in the Hebrew. Chaciyd is the Hebrew word for spiritually mature believers - the ones faithful to God and His Word. The final principal in this psalm is that SuperGrace believers are blessed also with SuperGrace friends.}
