Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 52:9

9. I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it : and I will wait on thy name , for it is good before thy saints .

(i. e.) Destroyed Doeg, and all mine and thine implacable Enemies, and Established in the Throne, and in thy House; of which I am no less assured, than if it were already done.

I will continue in thy way, placing my whole Trust and Confidence in thy Power and Goodness, and Faithfulness, all which are called God's Name, and not turn aside to any Crooked paths for my Deliverance, as others do, Psal. 125. 5.

(i. e.) In the Eyes of thy Saints. They, whose Judgments onely are to be valued, approve of this Practise, of trusting God, and keeping his way as the wisest and safest Course, and have ever found it so, to be by their own Experience; however Doeg and his Complices account it meer [illegible: 1+ letters]olly, and the the ready way to Ruin. But the last Words of this Clause may very Conveniently be joyned with the former Clause, thus, I will wait upon thy Name before thy Saints; which seems best to suit with the first Clause, I will praise thee; which surely was meant of Praising God publickly, or before the Saints; and then it follows Conveniently. And in the mean time I will wait on thy Name, in the Presence of thy Saints, who shall plainly see that I do so by the whole Course of my Life. And those Words, for it is good, may be inclosed within a Parenthesis, as is very usual in Scripture, and may be referred; Either to God's Name, for thy Name is good; or to wait on it, for it is good to wait upon it.
