Salmos 35:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 35:7

For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit,
&c.] This is said in allusion to the custom of digging pits, and putting nets into them, for the catching of wild beasts; and covering them with straw or dust, or such like things, as Jarchi observes, that they might not be discerned; and which intends the secret and crafty methods taken by David's enemies to ensnare him and destroy him; though he had given them no cause to use him in such a manner; which is an aggravation of their sins, and a reason of the above imprecations, as well as of what follows: and in the same manner, and without any just cause, Christ and his members have been treated by wicked men, and therefore their damnation is just, and will be inevitable:

[which] without cause they have digged for my soul;
which is added for further explanation's sake, and to aggravate their sin, and to show the justness of their punishment.

Salmos 35:7 In-Context

5 Que eles sejam como a palha ao vento,quando o anjo do SENHOR os expulsar;

6 seja a vereda deles sombria e escorregadia,quando o anjo do SENHOR os perseguir.

7 Já que, sem motivo, prepararam contra mim uma armadilha ocultae, sem motivo, abriram uma cova para mim,

8 que a ruína lhes sobrevenha de surpresa:sejam presos pela armadilha que prepararam,caiam na cova que abriram, para a sua própria ruína.

9 Então a minha alma exultará noe se regozijará na sua salvação.
