Psalms 52:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Likewise, i.e. totally and unavoidably, as thou didst destroy the priests. Pluck thee, i.e. violently, and irresistibly, and suddenly remove thee, as the Hebrew word signifies. Out of thy dwelling-place; from thy house and lands, and all the wages of thy unrighteousness. Or, out of his (i.e. the Lord s) tabernacle; in which thou didst seek and take the matter of thy slanders, and from which thou didst cut off the Lord's priests. Therefore God shall excommunicate thee from his presence, and from the society of the faithful. Root thee out; though thou seemest to have taken very deep rooting, and to be the more firmly settled for this barbarous cruelty, yet God shall pluck thee up by the very roots, and destroy thee both root and branch. Out of the land of the living; out of this world, as the phrase is taken, Isaiah 53:8 Ezekiel 32:32, and elsewhere; which was very terrible to him, who had all his portion in this world.
