"Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Let the wicked fall into their own nets,.... Which they have laid for others, as they very often do; see Psa 7:15 ; or "into his net" (k), either Saul into his own net, and others with him,
so Kimchi and Ben Melech; or the wicked into the net which God has laid for them; see Eze 12:13 ; whilst that I withal escape; or "whilst I together escape", or "pass over" (l); that is, while he, together with his companions, passed over the net laid; or, "till I pass over safe and sound,'' will all mine, as Noldius (m); not only pass over and escape the snares of the wicked, but pass out of this world into a state of happiness and glory in another. (k) "in retiacula ejus", Pagninus, Montanus; "in retia ejus", Vatablus, Cocceius; so Ainsworth. (l) "simul transeam", Montanus, Vatablus, Musculus; "una cum meis transiturus sum", Piscator. (m) Concord. Partic. Ebr. Chald. p. 363. No. 1279. so Michaelis. Next: Psalms Chapter 142 Sacred Texts | Bible « Previous: John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible: Psalms: Psalm...
