What Psalm 32:8 means

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. God promises a guidance so attentive it is compared to leading with a glance, the way someone who knows you well can direct you with a look. You are not left to guess your way through life; you are personally taught and watched over.
