Guiding Questions: Psalms 52

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Is there a “historical setting” for this particular Psalm (Psalms 52:2)? (See I Samuel 21:8 and I Samuel 22:6)
To whom are the castigating Psalms 52:3-5 (and more) addressed — to Saul? to Doeg the Edomite? to some other?
According to Psalms 52:7, what will be the “retribution” of the one being denounced?
What is the “end” of the one who puts his faith in material resources rather than in God (Psalms 52:7)?
Do the closing verses indicate that the Psalmist has been “saved from difficulty” and is now secure?
