52:5 Bring . . . down is commonly used for judgment on the wicked (147:6; 2Sm 22:48). Uproot is the most common description of a wicked person being removed from the Lord’s land (Dt 29:28; 2Ch 7:20; Pr 2:22).
52:6 This verse does not refer to the same malicious mocking since that is forbidden (Pr 24:17); it is part of a request for divine retribution (Dt 32:35; see note at Ps 28:3-5).
52:7 On dependence on riches, see note at 49:10-12.
52:8 The righteous are often pictured as a flourishing . . . tree (see note at 1:3).
