Contextual Overview

21 The vngodly boroweth and payeth not agayne: but the righteous geueth mercifully and liberally. 22 Suche as be blessed of God shall possesse the lande: and they that be cursed of hym, shalbe rooted out. 23 The pathes of man is directed by God: and his way pleaseth. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be vndone: for God vpholdeth him with his hande. 25 I haue ben a young chylde, and nowe I am olde: and yet sawe I neuer the righteous forsaken, nor his seede begyng bread. 26 The righteous is euer mercifull and lendeth: and his seede is blessed. 27 Flee from euill & do good: and dwell for euer. 28 For God loueth iudgement, he forsaketh not his saintes: they are preserued for euermore, but the seede of the vngodlye shalbe rooted vp. 29 The righteous shal inherite the land: and dwell therin for euer. 30 The mouth of the righteous is exercised in wysdome: and his tongue wyll be talking of iudgement.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The wicked watcheth the righteous ... - Observes closely; looks out for him; has his eye on him, seeking an opportunity to slay him. See the notes at Psalms 10:8-9. The sense is, that the wicked are the enemies of the righteous, and seek to do them wrong. It is a characteristic of the wicked that they seek to destroy the righteous. This was manifested in the case of the prophets; in the case of the apostles; in the case of the Saviour; and it has been so manifest in the deaths of the martyrs, and all the persecutions which the Church has suffered, as to justify the general declaration that it is one of the characteristics of a wicked world that it desires to do this.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 37:32. The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. — Similar to what is said Psalms 37:8: "The wicked plotteth against the righteous." But it is added, Psalms 37:33: "The Lord will not leave him in his hands;" he will confound his devices, and save his own servants.
