Study Note
The psalm superscription links it to David's confrontation with Doeg the Edomite (1 Samuel 22:9), who betrayed the priests of Nob to Saul, giving the opening taunt — 'Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The goodness of God endureth continually' — a precise historical referent. The irony of calling Doeg a 'mighty man' (gibbor) is pointed: the word normally honors warriors and heroes, but Doeg's 'might' was murderous treachery. The contrast between the wicked man's uprooted-tree end (verse 5) and the righteous person's olive-tree vitality in God's house (verse 8) is one of the Psalter's characteristic two-way meditations on the contrasting destiny of faithfulness and self-serving treachery.
