Psalms 52:3

Ver. 3. 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, 1Sa 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 1Ti 4:2.

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