Psalms 9:15

"The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:

In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment:

The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)"

As many have pointed out, "The writer picks up the theme of the end-time again."[17] Also the message of Psalms 7:15-16 is brought in again here. That the wicked do indeed destroy themselves by their own wicked devices is an eternally true principle. As Watkinson expressed it, "The pit of human misery and ruin is digged by man, not by God."[18]
