The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 69:22

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

Let their table become a snare before them. It is not very clear how their table was to ensnare them: perhaps by encouraging them to gluttony and sensuousness, and bringing upon them the diseases which those sins breed; perhaps by leading them to an ostentatious display of wealth and luxury (comp.

Ezekiel 23:40, Ezekiel 23:41). And that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let them be trapped by the good things of their table, like a wild beast by a bait.
