Recognizing Life's Hidden Traps
Commentators explain that the 'snares' and 'gins' are not just general troubles, but deliberate, hidden traps set by enemies. Scholars like John Gill point to specific examples in David's life, such as plots by King Saul. This imagery is also applied spiritually to the dangers of false teachings, sinful examples, and the temptations of Satan, from which we must pray for God's protection.
