Salmos 35:7

7 Porque sin causa me tendieron su red; sin causa cavaron fosa para mi alma.

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 Sean como paja delante del viento, con el ángel del SEÑOR acosándolos.

6 Sea su camino tenebroso y resbaladizo, con el ángel del SEÑOR persiguiéndolos.

7 Porque sin causa me tendieron su red; sin causa cavaron fosa para mi alma.

8 Que venga destrucción sobre él sin darse cuenta, y la red que él mismo tendió lo prenda, ¡que caiga en esa misma destrucción!

9 Y mi alma se regocijará en el SEÑOR; en su salvación se gozará.
