Psalms 141:9
Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
141:9. Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me. He asked in verse 3 that the door of his mouth might be kept; but his prayer now grows into Keep me. He seems more troubled about covert temptation than open attacks. Brave men do not dread battle, but they hate secret plots. We cannot endure to be entrapped like unsuspecting animals; therefore we cry to God for protection.
And the gins of the workers of iniquity. These evil workers sought to catch David in his speech or acts. Nobody could preserve David but the Omniscient and Omnicompetent One: he also will preserve us.
