Psalms 32:8 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I will guide thee with mine eye. — The Hebrew may be rendered either “I will advise — with mine eye upon thee,” or “I will fix mine eye upon thee,” which is the translation by the LXX., and to be preferred. This verse changes so abruptly to the first person that it is better, with most of the old interpreters and, among moderns, with Ewald, Hitzig, and Reuss, to suppose them the words of deliverance that sound so sweet in the psalmist’s ears.

Psalms 32:8

8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guidea thee with mine eye.
