Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. Made not God his strength; but ... riches, and ... wickedness - (1 Timothy 6:17; Luke 12:21; Psalms 62:10.) Compare, as to Saul, notes on title above.
The 'continual endurance of God's goodness' (Psalms 52:1) to the godly is set forth, in contrast to the doom of the ungodly just described. Not only is the proud sinner destroyed, but the oppressed saint saved.
