Contextual Overview

1 Pleade thou my cause O God, with them that striue with me: and fight thou agaynst them that fight against me. 2 Lay hand vppon a shielde & buckler: and stande vp to helpe me. 3 Bryng foorth the speare, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say vnto my soule, I am thy saluation. 4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seeke after my soule: let them be turned backe and brought to cofusion, that imagine mischiefe for me. 5 Let them be as dust before the winde: and let the angell of God scatter [them.] 6 Let their way be darke and slipperie: & let the angell of God persecute them. 7 For without a cause they haue priuily layde for me a pit [full] of their nettes: without a cause they haue made a digyng vnto my soule. 8 Let a sodayne destruction come vpon hym vnawares: and his net that he hath layde priuily catch hym selfe, let him fall into it with [his owne] destruction. 9 [And] my soule shalbe ioyfull in God: it shall reioyce in his saluation. 10 All my bones shall say, God who is lyke vnto thee? whiche deliuerest the poore from hym that is to strong for him: yea the poore and him that is in miserie, from him that spoyleth him.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Let destruction: All the verbs in these verses - Psalms 35:4-8, in the original, are in the future tense, as a prediction, and should probably be so rendered; though as that tense is frequently used in Hebrew for the imperative, most translators, both ancient and modern, have considered them as an imprecation. Psalms 64:7, Psalms 73:18-20, Proverbs 29:1, Luke 21:34, 1 Thessalonians 5:3

at unawares: Heb. which he knoweth not of

net: Psalms 7:15, Psalms 7:16, Psalms 57:6, Psalms 141:9, Psalms 141:10, Proverbs 5:22

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let destruction come upon him at unawares,.... Or a "storm" r, such as is caused in the eastern countries by a south wind, very sudden, violent, and destructive s: the singular number being here used, some Jewish commentators, as Kimchi, have thought Saul is particularly meant; and some Christian interpreters have been of opinion that Judas is intended: the imprecations here may be compared with those which respect him, Psalms 109:6. Though this may regard every one of the enemies of David, or of Christ and his people, whose ruin and destruction will come upon them unawares; see 1 Thessalonians 5:3;

and let his net that he hath laid catch himself; a figurative expression, agreeable to the allusion before made, and which is explained in the next clause;

into that very destruction let him fall, which he had designed and contrived for others; so Haman was hanged on the same gallows he had prepared for Mordecai; and so it often is in the course of Providence, that the wicked fall into the same calamity they have intended and endeavoured to bring others into; see Psalms 7:15.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Let destruction come upon him at unawares - Margin, which “he knoweth not of.” So the Hebrew. The meaning is, Let destruction come upon him when he is not looking for it, or expecting it.

And let his net that he hath hid catch himself - See the notes at Psalms 7:15-16. The psalmist prays here that the same thing may occur to his enemy which his enemy had designed for him. It is simply a prayer that they might be treated as they purposed to treat him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 35:8. Let his net that he hath hid — See the notes on Psalms 7:15; Psalms 7:16.
