Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 141:10

But this word may seem to be more fitly joyned to the [illegible: 1+ letters]oregoing clause, to which it is next placed in the Hebrew, and the verse may be and is by divers both ancient and later Translators, thus rendred, Let the wicked fall▪ (Or, The wicked shall fall) into their own nets together, (altogether, or alik[illegible: 1+ letters], one as well as another, Saul himself not excepted, whom though I dare not destroy, God will judge) whilst that I escape, am preserved from that common calamity in which mine enemies shall perish. Which was verified by the event. For David was strangely kept out of harms way when Saul and others of Davids enemies were cut off by the Phisisti[illegible: 1+ letters]s, 1 Sam. 31.
