Chapter 52

Ps.52:1. In the end, O Maeleth, give reason to David. He sings this psalm about the face of the Apostles and those who believed in Christ, they rejoiced and rejoiced. “Maelef” is interpreted as “face” or “rejoicing.” But, of necessity, he also speaks about what happened before the coming of the Lord, in order to show all the benefits of the coming. One should know that the thirteenth psalm also contains the same thought and almost the same expressions, and therefore those seeking interpretation will find explanations in it. Ps.53:2. The speech is mad in his heart: there is no God. Ps.52:3. God spoke from heaven to the sons of men. Since they did not think that God oversees human affairs, judges with righteous judgment and forbids every evil deed, then for this very reason God is “principled from heaven.” And this clearly means the coming of the Lord to men. Ps.52:4. All have deviated, together with the obscenity of Bysh [v]: do not do good, do not do one thing. This is not said in exaggeration, because Scripture does not say anything in exaggeration, but everything is said according to the truth itself. So, all the Jews turned away from the path - from the One who says: “I am the way” (John 14:6). That is why they became obscene, not wanting to stick to this path, that is why “do not do good.” Everyone was in ignorance of the good, blinded by the letter of the Law. You might be interested in:
