The Trap of Poetic Justice
Commentators consistently highlight that this verse is a prayer for poetic justice. The psalmist asks that the wicked be caught in the very nets they laid for him. This theme, echoed in other psalms like Psalm 7 and 35, reflects a deep trust that God will turn the evil intentions of the wicked back upon themselves.
