Psalms 7:15 - Exposition

He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made (comp. Psalms 9:15 , Psalms 9:16 ; Psalms 35:8 ; Psalms 57:6 ; Proverbs 26:27 ; Proverbs 28:10 , etc.). There are several illustrations of this law of God's providence in Scripture, the most striking being that of Haman. Its existence as a law was noticed by some of the classical writers, as Ovid, who says—

" Nec lex justior ulla est,

Quam necis artifices arte petite sua ."
