Who are "Shurai"?

1.

Rashi: They are those who look at me, like "Shorerai" (5:9). Radak - they are enemies who look for evil, like "Ashurenu v'Lo Karov" (Bamidbar 24:17). Shurai is To'ar (kind of person); it has a Shuruk, like "Nechaletz Chushim" (Bamidbar 32:17).

What did he [see and] hear?

3.

Malbim: I saw the people who look at me when evildoers rose against me, and I heard what they say (refer to 92:13:1:4).
