Antiguo Testamento

Psalms — Capítulo 52

Jesus and the apostles loved the book of Psalms—they quoted from it and lived out of it. These ancient prayers and praises of Israel provide a bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament; the themes introduced in the psalms find further development in the New Testament. Where David’s dynasty failed, Jesus gives hope. Yet, certain expectations that emerge in the book of Psalms still r…

Texto — Reina-Valera 1960

1¿Por qué te jactas de maldad, oh poderoso? La misericordia de Dios es continua.

2Agravios maquina tu lengua; Como navaja afilada hace engaño.

3Amaste el mal más que el bien, La mentira más que la verdad.

4Has amado toda suerte de palabras perniciosas, Engañosa lengua.

5Por tanto, Dios te destruirá para siempre; Te asolará y te arrancará de tu morada, Y te desarraigará de la tierra de los vivientes.

6Verán los justos, y temerán; Se reirán de él, diciendo:

7He aquí el hombre que no puso a Dios por su fortaleza, Sino que confió en la multitud de sus riquezas, Y se mantuvo en su maldad.

8Pero yo estoy como olivo verde en la casa de Dios; En la misericordia de Dios confío eternamente y para siempre.

9Te alabaré para siempre, porque lo has hecho así; Y esperaré en tu nombre, porque es bueno, delante de tus santos.

Ps 52 Wicked people use words to destroy relationships and communities. They foolishly think that they can be heroes by their words (52:1-4), but their fate suddenly overtakes them (52:5-7). In contrast, the godly renew their commitment to the Lord (52:8-9) and find their future secure in him. 52:title This psalm refers to an incident in 1 Sam 21:1-10; 22:9-10. The accuser, Doeg the Edomite, is a paradigm of evil. 52:1-4 Liars foolishly deceive themselves by thinking that they can be heroes by their words. They believe themselves innocent of any charges of evildoing, though they love evil and cause destruction. Those who speak curses, sarcasm, bitterness, arrogant boasting, and deceptions (31:18; 34:13; 59:7, 12; 120:2-3; 140:3, 9) bring about chaos, alienation, and destruction (Jas 3:5). Their sharp words cut like swords and daggers (Pss 55:21; 57:4; 64:3), the fangs of a snake (140:3), or a razor.

52:5-7 God’s judgment on the wicked will come suddenly and forcibly. The godly rejoice in God’s justice, not in the misfortunes of the wicked. 52:5 God will strike the wicked down like a pagan altar, idol, or unclean vessel (Exod 34:13; Lev 11:35; 2 Kgs 10:27).

52:8-9 The psalmist commits himself to a life of trust in the Lord. • An olive tree lives a long time when cared for (1:3; 128:3). The psalmist desires to be close to the Lord, his Savior and the source of his blessing (18:6; 23:6).
