Psalms 52:7

Lo! this is the man, &c.— "See the fate of the haughty slanderer and murderer! Where are all his boasted riches and prosperity? He was too proud to place his safety in God: but trusted in the multitude of his riches; thinking his wealth would defend him from the punishment due to his villainies." Mr. Schultens renders the words, Ferociebat in vasta sua cupiditate: "He grew insolent and furious in his boundless appetite, viz. to heap up riches, and satisfy the malice and cruelty of his heart."
