Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 141:9

"Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity." — Psalms 141:9 (ASV)

From the snare. —The original idiom is far more forcible: “from the hands (or, ‘clutches’) of the snare.” (See above, Psalms 141:6, “in the hands of the cliff.”)
