Psalms 52:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I am like a green olive tree; when Doeg and his brethren shall wither and perish, I, who have made God my refuge, I, whom he despised and persecuted, and thought to be in a desperate condition, shall be established and flourish. In the house of God; either,

1. In God's church, or among his people. Or,

2. In God's tabernacle, from which Doeg shall be plucked away, Psalms 52:5, and from which I am now banished by the tyranny and malice of this man, and his confederates; but, I doubt not, I shall be restored to it, and dwell in it all the days of my life, which is the one thing that I desire, Psalms 27:4.

Psalms 52:8

8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
