Psalms 52:6-7

Psalms 52:6-7

[6] The righteous  also shall see,  and fear,  and shall laugh  [7] 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. 

What does Psalms 52:6-7 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The punishment of the wicked would delight the righteous, not because they had suffered, but because God would judge righteously. The person who does not trust in the Lord trusts in himself. He builds a refuge for himself often out of material things, but it always proves inferior to God Himself.
