Psalms 141:10

The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 141:10

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

Let the wicked fall into their own nets (comp. ; ; ; ). The moral sense is always satisfied when the wicked man falls into his own trap, or is "hoist with his own petard." Even a heathen poet could say—

"Nec lex justior ulla est,

Quam necis artifices arte perire sun."

Whilst that I withal escape; literally, until that I pass over; i.e. whilst I pass over the nets, or traps, in safety.
