Contextual Overview

1In You, O LORD, I have placed my trust and taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed; In Your righteousness rescue me. 2Incline Your ear to me, deliver me quickly; Be my rock of refuge, And a strong fortress to save me. 3Yes, You are my rock and my fortress; For Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me. 4You will draw me out of the net that they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength and my stronghold.5Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, the God of truth and faithfulness. 6I hate those who pay regard to vain (empty, worthless) idols; But I trust in the LORD [and rely on Him with unwavering confidence]. 7I will rejoice and be glad in Your steadfast love, Because You have seen my affliction; You have taken note of my life's distresses, 8And You have not given me into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me,.... The Ziphites, and Saul, and his men; the former intending treacherously to betray him, and the latter encompassing him about in order to take him; and such was his danger and difficulty, that he saw none but God could deliver him; and he it is that breaks the nets of men, and the snares of the devil, which they secretly lay for the people of God, that they may stumble, and fall, and be taken, and delivers them out of them;

for thou [art] my strength; the author, giver, and maintainer, both of his natural and spiritual strength; and who was able, and was only able, to pull him out of the net, and extricate him out of the difficulties in which he was.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Pull me out of the net - See the notes at Psalms 9:15.

That they have laid privily for me - That my enemies have laid for me. The phrase “laid privily” refers to the custom of “hiding” or “concealing” a net or gin, so that the wild beast that was to be taken could not see it, or would fall into it unawares. Thus, his enemies designed to overcome him, by springing a net upon him at a moment when he was not aware of it, and at a place where he did not suspect it.

For thou art my strength - My stronghold. My hope of defense is in thee, and thee alone.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 31:4. Pull me out of the net — They have hemmed me in on every side, and I cannot escape but by miracle.
