Psalms 141:8

"For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord:

In thee do I take refuge;

Leave not my soul destitute.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,

And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets,

Whilst that I withal escape."

As noted above, these verses very closely resemble both in terminology and sentiments Psalms 140:8-10 of the preceding psalm. There is the same mention of "snares," "gins" and "nets," and the same prayer to God for deliverance from such traps, and at the same time a plea for the operation of the lex talionis by the falling of the wicked into the very traps they have laid for the psalmist.
