The psalmist desires that the path of the enemies be dark and slippery, with God's angel pursuing them. The imagery of darkness and slipperiness suggests both moral blindness and practical hazard: the enemies cannot see their way forward and cannot maintain their footing. The repetition of the angel pursuing emphasizes the relentless divine pursuit. This verse suggests that God's judgment manifests as the reversal of the enemies' plans: the path they intended to travel becomes treacherous and impassable.
