Let the wicked fall into their own nets,.... Which they have laid for others, as they very often do; see ; or "into his net" , either Saul into his own net, and others with him, so Kimchi and Ben Melech; or the wicked into the net which God has laid for them; see Eze 12:13;whilst that I withal escape; or "whilst I together escape", or "pass over" ; that is, while he, together with his companions, passed over the net laid; or,"till I pass over safe and sound,''will all mine, as Noldius ; not only pass over and escape the snares of the wicked, but pass out of this world into a state of happiness and glory in another.
