Psalms 53

Peake's Commentary on the BiblePeake's Commentary

Introduction

BOOK II. PSS. XLII.– LXXII.

Psalms 42-83 are Elohistic, i.e. they use the word God (Elohim) and avoid the proper name Yahweh, probably from motives of reverence. Here and there, however, the name Yahweh has crept into the text by a natural slip of the scribes.

Verses 1-6

LIII. See Psalms 14.
