Psalm 52:3

Listen to Psalm 52:3
3 Tu amas antes o mal do que o bem, e o mentir do que o falar a verdade.

Psalm 52:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 52:3

Thou lovest evil more than good
Indeed not good at all; such comparatives being strong negatives; see ( Psalms 118:8 Psalms 118:9 ) ; a wicked man loves evil, and nothing else; his carnal mind being enmity to all that is good

[and] lying rather than to speak righteousness;
as appears by his affirming that Ahimelech inquired of the Lord for David, when he did not, ( 1 Samuel 22:10 1 Samuel 22:15 ) ; and by suffering some things to pass for truths which were falsehoods, when it lay in his power to have disproved them: and such a lover of lies is antichrist; see ( 1 Timothy 4:2 ) ( 2 Thessalonians 2:11 ) .

Selah; on this word, (See Gill on Psalms 3:2). The Targum renders the word "Selah" here "for ever", as in ( Psalms 52:5 ) .

Psalm 52:3 In-Context

1 Por que te glorias na malícia, ó homem poderoso? pois a bondade de Deus subsiste em todo o tempo.
2 A tua língua maquina planos de destruição, como uma navalha afiada, ó tu que usas de dolo.
3 Tu amas antes o mal do que o bem, e o mentir do que o falar a verdade.
4 Amas todas as palavras devoradoras, ó língua fraudulenta.
5 Também Deus te esmagará para sempre; arrebatar-te-á e arrancar-te-á da tua habitação, e desarraigar-te-á da terra dos viventes.
