Psa 37:12 | NETfull | STEP | Evil men plot against the godly and viciously attack them.

Psalms 37:12

12 Evil men plot against the godly ^{▼▼ Or “innocent.” The singular is used here in a representative sense; the typical evildoer and the typical godly individual are in view.}
and viciously attack them. ^{▼▼ Heb “and gnashes at him with his teeth” (see Ps 35:16). The language may picture the evil men as wild animals. The active participles in v. 12 are used for purposes of dramatic description.}
