Keep me from the snare [which] they have laid for me, etc.] Either Saul, who gave him a wife to be a snare to him, and set men to watch his house and take him; or the Ziphites, who proposed to Saul to deliver him into his hands; (see <091821>1 Samuel 18:21 19:11 23:19,20). and the gins of the workers of iniquity; the transgressions of wicked men are snares to others, by way of example; and so are the doctrines of false teachers, and the temptations of Satan, from all which good men desire to be kept, (<202906>Proverbs 29:6 <280908>Hosea 9:8 <550226>2 Timothy 2:26); and it is the Lord alone that keeps and preserves from them, or breaks the snare and delivers them, (<19C407>Psalm 124:7).
