a

A new series follows in this cluster of psalms (50 – 52), which opens with God’s summons of His people to judgment (50) ; and this calls forth the remnant’s confession of corruption and blood-guilt (51). In 52 we have an instruction which takes the shape of a plaint against their violent and deceitful oppressor with the assurance of his destruction on God’s part, Who will deliver and bless His godly ones in His lovingkindness forever.
