The psalmist describes the enemies as mockers and scoffers, gnashing their teeth against him. The imagery of gnashing teeth suggests both intense hostility and the gloating of those who anticipate their enemy's destruction. The mockery and scoffing suggest that the enemies treat the psalmist's suffering as occasion for ridicule and entertainment. This verse conveys the psychological cruelty of the opposition: not merely causing harm but deriding and mocking the victim.
