From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

They have prepared a net for my steps -A net for my goings; or, into which I may fall. See the notes atPsalms 9:15. My soul is bowed down -The Septuagint, the Vulgate, and Luther render this in the plural, and in the active form: “They have bowed down my soul;” that is, they have caused my soul to be bowed down. The Hebrew may be correctly rendered, “he pressed down my soul,” - referring to his enemies, and speaking of them in the singular number. They have digged a pit before me ... -SeePsalms 7:15-16, notes;Psalms 9:15, note;Job 5:13, note.
