They have prepared a net for my steps— The syntax here is thought to be irregular; but the literal rendering is, They have prepared a net for their steps: he boweth down my soul; referring to Saul, at the head of his troops, pursuing David to his ruin. This makes the construction regular; and the sense in connection will be, "They have prepared a net for me, that he (namely, Saul) may bow down my soul: may cause me to fall into the snare which is laid for me." Chandler.
