Psalms 7:15
Compare all
13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death;
He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
14 aBehold, the wicked brings forth iniquity;
Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood. 
15 He made a pit and dug it out,
aAnd has fallen into the ditch which he made. 
16 aHis trouble shall return upon his own head,
And his violent dealing shall come down on1 his own crown. 
17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

Psalms 7:15

He made a pit - He determined the destruction of David. He laid his plans with much artifice; he executed them with zeal and diligence; and when he had, as he supposed, the grave of David digged, he fell into it himself! The metaphor is taken from pits dug in the earth, and slightly covered over with reeds etc. so as not to be discerned from the solid ground; but the animal steps on them, the surface breaks, and he falls into the pit and is taken. "All the world agrees to acknowledge the equity of that sentence, which inflicts upon the guilty the punishment intended by them for the innocent." - Horne.
