Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 52:6

"The righteous also shall see [it], and fear, And shall laugh at him, [saying]," — Psalms 52:6 (ASV)

Fear ... laugh. —The mingled feelings of awe at the tyrant’s terrible fall, and exultation at his overthrow, are finely caught and described.

Dwelling-place. —Better, tent.

Root thee out. —This word, suggestive of rooting up a corrupt tree, becomes more forcible from the contrast in the figure of Psalm 52:8.
