Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape." — Psalms 141:10 (ASV)

Let the wicked fall into their own nets - See the notes at (Psalms 35:8). Compare (Psalms 7:15–16).

While that I withal escape - Margin, as in Hebrew, “pass over.” While I safely pass over the net or snare which has been secretly laid for me. The word “withal” means, in the Hebrew, “together, at the same time”; that is, at the same time that they fall into the net, let me pass over it in safety. See the notes at (Job 5:13).
