NETBible

They have prepared a net to trap me;¹ I am discouraged.² They have dug a pit for me.³ They will fall⁴ into it! (Selah)

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “for my feet.”

²tn Heb “my life bends low.” The Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) with a pronominal suffix is often equivalent to a pronoun, especially in poetry (see BDB 660 s.v. נֶפֶשׁ 4.a).

³tn Heb “before me.”

⁴tn The perfect form is used rhetorically here to express the psalmist’s certitude. The demise of the enemies is so certain that he can speak of it as already accomplished.
