Psalms 32:8

Psa 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Ver. 8. I will instruct thee and teach thee, &c. ] No disgrace is it then for great men to be teachers of others. Here we have a prince preacher; such as was also Solomon, George prince of Anhalt, and others.

I will guide thee with mine eye ] i.e. With my careful inspection and oversight; I will see that thou profit in godliness. The Chaldee hath it, I will counsel thee, and set mine eye upon thee for good. Thus Christ counselled Peter with his eye, Luke 22:61 . Ministers must watch over their people, and see that all go right. Hence they are called seers, superintendents, bishops.
