Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 66:11

"Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins." — Psalms 66:11 (ASV)

Net. —The Hebrew in Ezekiel 12:13 certainly means “net,” as in the Septuagint and Vulgate here. But Aquila, Symmachus, and Jerome prefer the usual meaning, “stronghold” (2 Samuel 5:7 and elsewhere), which is more in keeping with the other images of violence and oppression. The fortress, the hard labour, the subjection as by foes riding over the vanquished, the passage through fire and water, all raise a picture of the direst tyranny.
