The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 32:8

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go. We must suppose the "godly man" of Psalms 32:6 addressed, if we regard David as the speaker. Such a man was not beyond the need of instruction and teaching, since he was liable to sins of infirmity, and even to grievous falls, as had been seen by David's example.

I will guide thee with mine eye; i.e. "I will keep watch over thee with mine eye, and guide thee as I see to be necessary."
