Psalms 7:16
"His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

His mischief shall return upon his own head,.... That which he conceived and devised in his mind, and attempted to bring upon others, shall fall upon himself, as a just

judgment from heaven upon him; and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate; referring to the violence with which Saul pursued David, which would be requited to him, and of which he prophesied, Sa1 26:10 .
