Psalms 53

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole BibleCommentary Critical

Introduction

PSALM 53

:-. Upon Mahalath—(See on :-, title). Why this repetition of the fourteenth Psalm is given we do not know.

Verse 1

1-4. with few verbal changes, correspond with Psalms 14:1-4.

Verse 5

5. Instead of assurances of God's presence with the pious, and a complaint of the wicked, Psalms 14:5; Psalms 14:6 portrays the ruin of the latter, whose "bones" even "are scattered" (compare Psalms 141:7), and who are put to shame as contemptuously rejected of God.
