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 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

11 But the meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.

12 The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,

13 but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
