psalm-141:10

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 141:5-10

Here, I. David desires to be told of his faults. His enemies reproached him with that which was false, which he could not but complain of; yet, at the same time, he desired his friends would reprove him for that which was really amiss in him, particularly if there was any thing that gave the least colour to those reproaches (Ps. 141:5): let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness. The righteous God (so some); ?I will welcome the rebukes of his providence, and be so far from quarrelling... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 141:10

Let the wicked fall into their own nets ,.... Which they have laid for others, as they very often do; see Psalm 7:15 ; or "into his net" F11 במכמריו "in retiacula ejus", Pagninus, Montanus; "in retia ejus", Vatablus, Cocceius; so Ainsworth. , either Saul into his own net, and others with him, so Kimchi and Ben Melech; or the wicked into the net which God has laid for them; see Ezekiel 12:13 ; whilst that I withal escape ; or "whilst I together escape", or "pass over" F12 ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 141:10

Let the wicked fall into their own nets - This is generally the case; those who lay snares for others fall into them themselves. Harm watch, harm catch, says the old adage. How many cases have occurred where the spring guns that have been set for thieves have shot some of the family! I have known some dismal cases of this kind, where some of the most amiable lives have been sacrificed to this accursed machine. Whilst - I withal escape - They alone are guilty; they alone spread the nets... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 141:1-10

1. That prayer may be with him a settled institution ( Psalms 141:2 ). 2. That he may be saved from sins of the tongue ( Psalms 141:3 ). 3. That he may be saved from sins of thought or act ( Psalms 141:4 ). 4. That he may be given grace to welcome reproof ( Psalms 141:5 ). The circumstances of the time are then shortly touched. There has been a severe judgment on the rulers of the people ( Psalms 141:6 ), and a great national calamity ( Psalms 141:7 ), with the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 141:1-10

Acceptable sacrifices. The more distinctive teaching of this psalm respects— I. THE SACRIFICE OF PRAYER . ( Psalms 141:2 , Psalms 141:8 , Psalms 141:9 .) When the sacrificial services of the tabernacle (or temple) could not be rendered, it was open to the devout Israelite to "lift up his hands" in reverent, believing prayer. And this, we are sure, was acceptable to "him that heareth prayer." The essence of all sacrifice was an appeal to God by the spirit of man, the going... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 141:1-10

Keep me from the snares. This difficult psalm seems to be the cry of a greatly tempted soul. And the temptation now did not arise so much from the persecutions of the ungodly as from their seducing favors—what he calls "their dainties" ( Psalms 141:4 ). And he seems to have found this even harder to resist than their cruelty and harshness. Consider— I. THE SPIRIT OF THIS PRAYER . 1. Note its impassioned earnestness . ( Psalms 141:1 .) "Lord, I cry unto thee." No... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 141:1-10

A comprehensive prayer. The psalm has some peculiar difficulties, due to the extreme abruptness with which the thoughts follow one another, and the great obscurity which hangs over the allusions. Let us try and select the principal thoughts. 1. The psalmist was threatened with some immediate danger which could brook no delay . ( Psalms 141:1 .) Like the disciples in the storm on the lake. If relief comes at all, it must come at once. 2. He seeks that his prayer to this end... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 141:10

Let the wicked fall into their own nets (comp. Psalms 7:15 ; Psalms 35:8 ; Psalms 57:6 ; Proverbs 5:22 ). The moral sense is always satisfied when the wicked man falls into his own trap, or is "hoist with his own petard." Even a heathen poet could say— " Nec lex justior ulla est, Quam necis artifices arte perire sun ." Whilst that I withal escape ; literally, until that I pass over ; i . e . whilst I pass over the nets, or traps, in safety. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 141:10

Let the wicked fall into their own nets - See the notes at Psalms 35:8. Compare Psalms 7:15-16.While that I withal escape - Margin, as in Hebrew, “pass over.” While I safely pass over the net or snare which has been secretly laid for me. The word “withal” means, in the Hebrew, “together, at the same time;” that is, At the same time that they fall into the net, let me pass over it in safety. See the notes at Job 5:13. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 141:9-10

Psalms 141:9-10. Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me Keep me from being taken in it: give me to discover and evade it. If Saul and his evil counsellors be intended in this clause, probably the heathen, to whom David was now driven for refuge, were meant in the next. They were workers of iniquity in the worst sense, being worshippers of idols, and their idols were always snares to the Israelites, as their history informs us, and as they were forewarned by God himself, Judges... read more
