📚 Historical Context

This psalm is attributed to David, likely written during a time of personal distress when he felt surrounded by enemies or困难. In ancient times, hunters used nets and snares to trap animals, so this imagery would have been very familiar to David's audience. The metaphor of being caught in a net represents being trapped by circumstances, enemies, or sin.
