Psalms 37:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:12

The wicked plotteth against the just
Forms schemes to make him uneasy, uncomfortable, and unhappy:

and gnasheth upon him with his teeth:
which expresses his malice and hatred, as David's enemies did upon him, ( Psalms 35:16 ) ; and Stephen's, ( Acts 7:54 ) .

Psalms 37:12 In-Context

10 For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.

11 But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure.

12 The sinner has evil designs against the upright, lifting up the voice of wrath against him.

13 He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.

14 The evil-doers have taken out their swords, their bows are bent; for crushing the poor, and to put to death those who are upright in their ways.
