Forgiveness is something that is often hard to ask for. It is hard to admit that we have sinned, especially to God. I don't think this should be a difficult thing since He knows everything we have done, but it is. Similar to Psalm 50, God does not want our offerings and sacrifices, but to realize our sins and come to Him. Why is this a hard thing to do sometimes? Maybe because we must admit our sins to ourselves as well.
The message behind Psalm 52 is that God is in control (and should be!). This time, it is not so much as God in control of our lives, but He is in control of others as well-especially those who commit sins. They may think that they are getting away with everything and relish in the worldly glory and fame, but in the end, God has the upper hand. We should not support or praise this behavior, but rather put all of our trust and faith in God.
