“The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. plotteth: or, practiseth”
Psalms 37:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 37:12
The wicked 'plotteth' (Hebrew 'zamam,' devises, purposes) reveals premeditated hostility toward the just. Gnashing teeth (also in Psalm 35:16, 37:12) expresses rage and violent intent—teeth bared in fury. This image appears when religious authorities opposed Jesus (Acts 7:54) and describes hell's occupants (Matthew 8:12). The contrast between plotting schemes and gnashing teeth shows both calculated malice and passionate hatred. Yet the verse presents this factually, not alarmingly—the subsequent verse reveals God's response.
