Psalm 7:15

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

For without cause they hid their net for me;
Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.

The arrogant have dug pits for me,
Men who are not in accord with Your law.

“You would even cast lots for the orphans
And barter over your friend.

Should good be repaid with evil?

For they have dug a pit for me.
Remember how I stood before You
To speak good on their behalf,
So as to turn away Your wrath from them.

The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;

Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

Let destruction come upon him unawares,
And let the net which he hid catch himself;
Into that very destruction let him fall.

That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity,
Until a pit is dug for the wicked.

“As for the head of those who surround me,
May the mischief of their lips cover them.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
While I pass by

safely.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king’s anger subsided.

“According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity
And those who sow trouble harvest it.

His own iniquities will capture the wicked,
And he will be held with the cords of his sin.

He who digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

He who digs a pit may fall into it, and a serpent may bite him who breaks through a wall.

The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

But they lie in wait for their own blood;
They ambush their own lives.
