The life of David parallels these 9 verses. Every chapter of His biography serves to illustrate the truths poetically encapsulated here. The glory of God in the life of David in contrast to the vainglorious is thematic in this song. It is not that the wicked personified by Doeg successfully steal the praise and power ascribed to God alone, it is rather, that the enemies of God serve to display His judgements at the final reckoning. Spurgeon says: “ Beelzebub and mammon together heat the furnace 7 times hotter for the child of God, but in the end that shall work out for their own destruction.” David's life serves to illustrate this point as does Psalm 52. The life of David goes further to confirm the beatitudes of Christ (Mat 5:5) “...blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” The covenant keeping love of God is the only assurance for salvation and hope. Any other 'soothing' song is a delusion posing as a lullaby.
