David prays for his own safety, and his enemies' confusion11. He complains of their wrongful dealing 22. Thereby he incites God against them For without cause The phrase "for without cause" in Psalm 35:7 highlights the unjust nature of the actions against the psalmist. In Hebrew, the word used here is "chinnam," which means "freely" or "without reason." This suggests that the psalmist, traditionally understood to be David, is facing hostility and persecution that is undeserved. Historically, David experienced many instances of unjust treatment, such as King Saul's relentless pursuit of him despite David's loyalty. This phrase calls believers to reflect on the reality of suffering for righteousness' sake, a theme echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus speaks of persecution for His name (Matthew 5:10-12). they hid their net for me without cause they dug a pit for my soul " For unprovoked they hid a net for me, Unprovoked they digged a pit for my soul." Verse 7. - For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit; literally, the pit of their net. This is explained by some to mean "the destruction of their net;" by others, "the pit that is covered by a net." But neither explanation is altogether saris-factory. Some therefore suppose an accidental transposition of a word. Which without cause they have digged for my soul. "Without cause" means "without provocation on my part."Parallel Commentaries ...
