Psalms 52

Psalms 52:1

Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

O thou vain and foolish Doeg, why dost thou thus pride thyself in Saul’s favour, as if thou wert now able to do what mischief thou listest? Know, that there is a higher hand, that can either stint thee, or cut thee off, at pleasure: in vain shalt thou strive against that Omnipotent Power and Goodness, which ever remains ready to assist and deliver his Church.
