3 Tu aimes le mal plutôt que le bien, Le mensonge plutôt que la droiture. -Pause.

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 Au chef des chantres. Cantique de David. A l'occasion du rapport que Doëg, l'Edomite, vint faire à Saül, en lui disant: David s'est rendu dans la maison d'Achimélec. Pourquoi te glorifies-tu de ta méchanceté, tyran? La bonté de Dieu subsiste toujours.
2 Ta langue n'invente que malice, comme un rasoir affilé, fourbe que tu es!
3 Tu aimes le mal plutôt que le bien, Le mensonge plutôt que la droiture. -Pause.
4 Tu aimes toutes les paroles de destruction, Langue trompeuse!
5 Aussi Dieu t'abattra pour toujours, Il te saisira et t'enlèvera de ta tente; Il te déracinera de la terre des vivants. -Pause.
