Psalms 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 ) .

Psalms 37:32 In-Context

30 Righteous chews on wisdom like a dog on a bone, rolls virtue around on his tongue.

31 His heart pumps God's Word like blood through his veins; his feet are as sure as a cat's.

32 Wicked sets a watch for Righteous, he's out for the kill.

33 God, alert, is also on watch - Wicked won't hurt a hair of his head.

34 Wait passionately for God, don't leave the path. He'll give you your place in the sun while you watch the wicked lose it.
