He has dug a hole and hollowed it out;
He digs a pit and falls into the hole he has made.
This verse begins the reversal of wicked designs.
1A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. 2or they will shred my soul like a lion 3O LORD my God, if I have done this, 4if I have rewarded my ally with evil, 5then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; 6Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; 7Let the assembled peoples gather around You; 8The LORD judges the peoples; 9Put an end to the evil of the wicked, 10My shield is with God, 11God is a righteous judge 12If one does not repent, 13He has prepared His deadly weapons; 14Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; 15He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; 16His trouble recoils on himself, 17I will thank the LORD for His righteousness
