Holy Scripture

Psalms 34:15

A church father on this verse
“God takes care of the righteous (by "eyes" referring not simply to sight but also to what is done by God in beneficence and providence).… He also accepts their requests.… But he has an eye also for the wicked, though not in the same way as for the good. To what effect? "To destroy remembrance of them from the land": ……”
Theodore of Mopsuestia, 5th c. — COMMENTARY ON PSALMS 34:16A-17B

15Yet they rejoiced against me, And plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew it not: They were scattered, but repented not.

In context

13But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, And humbled my soul with fasting: And my prayer shall return to my own bosom.

14I behaved agreeably toward them as if it had been our neighbor or brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.

— Psalms 34:15 —

16They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, They gnashed their teeth upon me.

17O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, Mine only begotten one from the lions.
