Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 142:3

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path : in the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

To wit, practically, so as to direct me to it.

What paths I should chuse whereby I might escape Saul, when I fled hither and thither in desarts and mountains and woods; and which way I should get out of his hands when he and all his men were at the caves mouth, which passed my skill.

Wherein I used to walk, or they supposed that I would walk.
