Psalms 57:6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

They have prepared a net for my steps In which to take me, that I might not again escape out of their hands. My soul is bowed down Hebrew, כפ Š נפשׁי, he hath bowed down my soul; referring to Saul at the head of his troops, pursuing David to his ruin. They have digged a pit before me Hebrew, before my face: not in my sight, for that would have been in vain, Proverbs 1:17, but in my way, where they thought I would go; into the midst whereof they are fallen This was fulfilled in Saul, who, by pursuing David, fell into his hands, 1 Samuel 24:3.
