1. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? Doeg had small matter for boasting in having procured the slaughter of
a band of defenseless priests. If David alluded to Saul, he meant by these
words pityingly to say, “How can
one by nature fitted for nobler deeds, descend to so low a level as to find a
theme for boasting in a slaughter so heartless?” The goodness of God endureth continually. A beautiful contrast.
The tyrant’s fury cannot dry up the stream of divine mercy. The Lord will
outlive Doeg and right the wrongs which he has done.
