The Helpless Bird, The Broken Snare
Commentators explain the verse's powerful imagery: a helpless bird caught in a hunter's trap. This represents feeling completely ensnared by enemies, sin, or overwhelming circumstances. The escape is not due to the bird's own strength, but because an outside force—God—miraculously breaks the snare itself, signifying a sudden and complete deliverance from a hopeless situation.
