Psa 141:10 | KingComments | STEP | David knows that his enemies are still there and want to do him harm. Therefore, he asks to be kept from cunning snares and traps in which, if he is not careful, he may just be caught ( ). He does not imagine that he will be able to outwit his enemies and that they will not catch him. The Only One Who can keep him is the LORD. In he turns the matter around. He asks the LORD to “let the wicked fall into their own nets”. This is to happen to all of them leaving nobody who is a danger to him. The LORD must maintain that situation until he has passed and achieved the goal God has in mind for him.

‏ Psalms 141:10

Keeping and Retribution

David knows that his enemies are still there and want to do him harm. Therefore, he asks to be kept from cunning snares and traps in which, if he is not careful, he may just be caught (Psa 141:9). He does not imagine that he will be able to outwit his enemies and that they will not catch him. The Only One Who can keep him is the LORD.

In Psa 141:10 he turns the matter around. He asks the LORD to “let the wicked fall into their own nets”. This is to happen to all of them leaving nobody who is a danger to him. The LORD must maintain that situation until he has passed and achieved the goal God has in mind for him.
