"Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,.... Either Saul, who gave him a wife to be a snare to him, and set men to watch his
house and take him; or the Ziphites, who proposed to Saul to deliver him into his hands; see Sa1 18:21 . and the gins of the workers of iniquity; the transgressions of wicked men are snares to others, by way of example; and so are the doctrines of false teachers, and the temptations of Satan, from all which good men desire to be kept, Pro 29:6 ; and it is the Lord alone that keeps and preserves from them, or breaks the snare and delivers them, Psa 124:7 .
