John Gill Commentary Psalms 141:10

"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
Which they have laid for others, as they very often do; see (Psalms 7:15Psalms 7:16) ; or "into his net" ^F11 , 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 (Ezekiel 12:13) ;

whilst that I withal escape ;
or "whilst I together escape", or "pass over" ^F12 ; 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 ^F13 ; 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.
