Cave David Escape Fall Maschil Nets Prayer Psalm Safely Safety Sinners Themselves Together Whilst Wicked Withal
Psalm 141
1. David prays that his suit may be acceptable
3. His conscience sincere
7. And his life free from snares














(10) Comp. Psalm 7:15.

Withal.--Probably, altogether ("whilst I altogether escape"), which some join with the previous clause, "Let the wicked fall into their own nets together, whilst I escape."

Verse 10. - Let the wicked fall into their own nets (comp. Psalm 7:15; Psalm 35:8; Psalm 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.
