psalms 35:7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

psalms 35:7 For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.

7, 8. net in a pit--or, "pit of their net"--or, "net-pit," as "holy hill" for "hill of holiness" (Ps 2:6); a figure from hunting (Ps 7:15). Their imprecations on impenitent rebels against God need no vindication; His justice and wrath are for such; His mercy for penitents. Compare Ps 7:16; 11:5, on the peculiar fate of the wicked here noticed.

psalms 35:7 For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.
