Psalms 9:15-16

Psalms 9:15-16

[15] The heathen  are sunk down  in the pit  that they made:  in the net  which  they hid  is their own foot  taken.  [16] The LORD  is known  by the judgment  which he executeth:  the wicked  is snared  in the work  of his own hands.  Higgaion.  Selah. 

What does Psalms 9:15-16 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

These verses are probably an expression of David"s confidence that the Lord would deliver him in anticipation of that deliverance (cf. Revelation 18:2). The psalmist had already seen the wicked ensnared in their own traps many times, and he was sure this would happen again (cf. Psalm 7:15).
"Higgaion" is probably a musical notation specifying quieter music. [1]
