Psaume 7:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 7:15

He made a pit and digged it
That is, he digged a pit, and made it very large and capacious, to answer his purposes;

and is fallen into the ditch [which] he made;
so it is said of the Heathen, ( Psalms 9:15 ) ; and is exemplified in the case of Haman, who was hanged upon the gallows he had built for Mordecai. Kimchi explains this of Saul's falling upon his own sword, and dying by it, which he drew against David; phrase is proverbial, ( Proverbs 26:27 ) ( Ecclesiastes 10:8 ) ; the sense of this and the above figurative expressions is literally and properly given in ( Psalms 7:16 ) .

Psaume 7:15 In-Context

13 Si le méchant ne se convertit, Dieu affile son épée; il a bandé son arc, et il l'ajuste.

14 Il prépare contre lui des armes mortelles, il apprête des flèches ardentes.

15 Voici, le méchant est en travail pour enfanter le mal; il a conçu le crime, mais il n'enfante que mensonge.

16 Il a creusé un trou profond; mais il tombera dans la fosse qu'il a faite.

17 Sa malice retournera sur sa tête, sa violence retombera sur son front.
