Psalm 52:3

Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

Thou lovest evil more than good,.... Indeed not good at all; such comparatives being strong negatives; see Ps 118:8; a wicked man loves evil, and nothing else; his carnal mind being enmity to all that is good

and lying rather than to speak righteousness; as appears by his affirming that Ahimelech inquired of the Lord for David, when he did not, 1 Samuel 22:10; and by suffering some things to pass for truths which were falsehoods, when it lay in his power to have disproved them: and such a lover of lies is antichrist; see 1 Timothy 4:2.

Selah; on this word, See Gill on "Psalms 3:2". The Targum renders the word "Selah" here "for ever", as in Psalms 52:5.
