Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 37:12 In-Context

10 Before you know it, the wicked will have had it; you'll stare at his once famous place and - nothing!

11 Down-to-earth people will move in and take over, relishing a huge bonanza.

12 Bad guys have it in for the good guys, obsessed with doing them in.

13 But God isn't losing any sleep; to him they're a joke with no punch line.

14 Bullies brandish their swords, pull back on their bows with a flourish. They're out to beat up on the harmless, or mug that nice man out walking his dog.
