Contextual Overview
(A psalm by David.)
Fight my enemies, Lord ! Attack my attackers! 2 Shield me and help me. 3 Aim your spear at everyone who hunts me down, but promise to save me. 4 Let all who want to kill me be disappointed and disgraced. Chase away and confuse all who plan to harm me. 5 Send your angel after them and let them be like straw in the wind. 6 Make them run in the dark on a slippery road, as your angel chases them. 7 I did them no harm, but they hid a net to trap me, and they dug a deep pit to catch and kill me. 8 Surprise them with disaster! Trap them in their own nets and let them fall and rot in the pits they have dug. 9 I will celebrate and be joyful because you, Lord , have saved me. 10 Every bone in my body will shout: "No one is like the Lord !" You protect the helpless from those in power; you save the poor and needy from those who hurt them.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit,.... This is said in allusion to the custom of digging pits, and putting nets into them, for the catching of wild beasts; and covering them with straw or dust, or such like things, as Jarchi observes, that they might not be discerned; and which intends the secret and crafty methods taken by David's enemies to ensnare him and destroy him; though he had given them no cause to use him in such a manner; which is an aggravation of their sins, and a reason of the above imprecations, as well as of what follows: and in the same manner, and without any just cause, Christ and his members have been treated by wicked men, and therefore their damnation is just, and will be inevitable:
[which] without cause they have digged for my soul; which is added for further explanation's sake, and to aggravate their sin, and to show the justness of their punishment.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit - See Psalms 7:15, note; Psalms 9:15, note. This figure is derived from hunting. The idea is that of digging a pit or hole for a wild beast to fall into, with a net so concealed that the animal could not see it, and that might be suddenly drawn over him so as to secure him. The reference here is to plans that are laid to entrap and ruin others: plots that are concocted so as to secure destruction before one is aware. The psalmist says that, in his case, they had done this without “cause,” or without any sufficient reason. He had done them no wrong; he had given them no show of excuse for their conduct.
Which without cause they have digged for my soul - For my life. That is, they have digged a pit into which I might fall, and into which they designed that I should fall, though I have never done anything to give them occasion thus to seek my destruction.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 35:7. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit — The word שחת shachath, a pit, belongs to the second member of this verse, and the whole should be read thus: For without a cause they have hidden for me their net, without a cause they have digged a pit for my life. They have used every degree and species of cunning and deceit to ruin me.
