Psalms 57:6

6 They have prepared a net to trap me; ^{▼▼ Heb “for my feet.”}
I am discouraged. ^{▼▼ Heb “my life bends low.” The Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) with a pronominal suffix is often equivalent to a pronoun, especially in poetry (see BDB 660 s.v. נֶפֶשׁ 4.a).}
They have dug a pit for me. ^{▼▼ Heb “before me.”}
They will fall ^{▼▼ The perfect form is used rhetorically here to express the psalmist’s certitude. The demise of the enemies is so certain that he can speak of it as already accomplished.} into it! (Selah)
