The Great Reversal
Commentators explain that this verse describes a divine reversal. God not only delivers the righteous from trouble but often causes the wicked to fall into that very same trouble. Scholars point to clear biblical examples, such as Haman being hanged on the gallows he built for Mordecai (Esther 7:10) and Daniel's accusers being thrown into the lions' den from which he was rescued (Daniel 6:24).
