Psalms 9:15

Psa 9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

Ver. 15. The heathen are sunk down, &c. ] Hoc est initium cantici Sanctorum, Thi is the beginning of the sacred songs, saith AbenEzra. This is the beginning of the saints’ song, knit to the former verse thus: saying, The heathen, &c.

In the net which they hid, &c. ] To hunters they are compared for cruelty, and to fowlers for craft. But see their success: they are sunk down in their own pit, caught in their own net. Thus it befell Pharaoh, Exodus 15:9-10 , Jabin and Sisera, Judges 4:15 ; Judges 4:22-23 , Sennacherib, 2 Chronicles 32:21 , Antiochus Epiphanes, Maxentius the tyrant, who fell into the river Tiber, from his own false bridge laid for Constantine (Euseb. lib. 9, rap. 9), the Spanish Armada, our gunpowder Papists, &c.
