Psalms 52:1

Verse 1. Maeleth, or Machalath. A musical instrument, or a chorus of musicians: for S. Jerom renders it, per chorum; ( Challoner.) and Aquila, “for dancing.” Sixtus V. and so forth read incorrectly, “for Amalec.”—The psalm is nearly the same with the 13th, ( Calmet.) except verse 6. Menochius.—We know not the reason why David gave this second copy, omitting the name of Jehovah. Bert.—Saint Augustine explains it of the dangers of the latter times. Worthington.—It seems to speak of the return from captivity, verse 7. Calmet.
