It echoes the principle of divine justice found throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/proverbs/26-27.htm">Proverbs 26:27</a>, which states, "Whoever digs a pit will fall into it." The imagery of nets is often used in the Bible to symbolize traps or schemes set by the wicked (<a href="/psalms/9-15.htm">Psalm 9:15-16</a>). This reflects the belief that God allows the consequences of evil actions to return upon the evildoers themselves. The use of "nets" may also allude to the practices of ancient hunters and fishermen, who used nets to capture prey, symbolizing the cunning and deceit of the wicked.<p><b>while I pass by in safety</b><br>This part of the verse emphasizes the protection and deliverance of the righteous by God. The psalmist expresses confidence that, despite the schemes of the wicked, he will be preserved and unharmed. This assurance of divine protection is a recurring theme in the Psalms, as seen in <a href="/psalms/23-4.htm">Psalm 23:4</a>, where the psalmist declares, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me." The phrase "pass by in safety" suggests a journey or passage, possibly alluding to the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, where they were protected by God as they passed through the Red Sea. It also foreshadows the ultimate deliverance and salvation found in Jesus Christ, who provides safety and refuge for believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/141.htm">Psalm 141</a>, David is expressing a prayer for protection and deliverance from the wicked.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wicked.htm">The Wicked</a></b><br>Refers to those who plot evil against the righteous, setting traps and snares.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/n/nets.htm">Nets</a></b><br>Symbolic of the traps and schemes devised by the wicked to ensnare the righteous.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/safety.htm">Safety</a></b><br>Represents the divine protection and deliverance that David seeks from God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The ultimate protector and deliverer, whom David trusts to ensure his safety.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_divine_justice.htm">Trust in Divine Justice</a></b><br>Believers are encouraged to trust in God's justice rather than seeking revenge.
