A Tale of Two Seekers
Commentators like John Calvin highlight the stark contrast presented in the psalm. While the wicked 'seek after my soul to destroy it' and mock with 'Aha, aha!', the righteous are defined by a different pursuit: they 'seek thee' (God). Their response to life is not mockery but worship, continually saying, 'The Lord be magnified!' This sets up a clear distinction between two ways of life and their ultimate ends.
