The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. Have hid a snare for me - They hunted David as they would a dangerous wild beast: one while striving to pierce him with the spear; another to entangle him in their snares, so as to take and sacrifice him before the people, on pretense of his being an enemy to the state.
Selah - This is the truth.
