Psalm 37:32 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:32

The wicked watcheth the righteous
All his motions and steps, his works and actions; he watches for his halting, and to take all opportunities and advantages against him; see ( Jeremiah 20:10 ) ;

and seeketh to slay him;
murder his reputation, destroy his substance, and take away his life: some understand it of the devil, who watches the saints, observes their failings, accuses then, before the throne, and seeks to devour them, ( 1 Peter 5:8 ) .

Psalm 37:32 In-Context

31 The Instruction of their God is in their hearts; they don't miss a step.

32 The wicked, on the other hand, target the righteous, seeking to kill them.
