psalms 69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

psalms 69:22 May their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, [may it become] a trap.

22, 23. With unimportant verbal changes, this language is used by Paul to describe the rejection of the Jews who refused to receive the Saviour (Ro 11:9, 10). The purport of the figures used is that blessings shall become curses, the "table" of joy (as one of food) a "snare," their
welfare--literally, "peaceful condition," or security, a "trap." Darkened eyes and failing strength complete the picture of the ruin falling on them under the invoked retribution.

psalms 69:22 May their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, [may it become] a trap.
