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.
The proud. The same "proud" enemies as in Psalms 138:6.
Have hid a snare ... cords ... a net ... gins for me. A favourite image with David (Psalms 31:4; Psalms 57:6; Psalms 64:5; Psalms 142:3). He multiplies terms of a synonymous kind, to express that every sort of plot and snare to which he had been exposed will recur again to his seed. He, at the same time, points to the Lord as the sure Deliverer from them all.
