Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

Let destruction		All the verbs in these verses, (Psa 35:4-8,) in the original, are in the future tense, as a prediction, and should probably be so rendered; though as that tense is frequently used in Hebrew for the imperative, most translators, both ancient and modern, have considered them as an imprecation.

at unawares		Heb. which he knoweth not of
net		Psa 7:15,16; Psa 57:6; Psa 141:9,10; Pro 5:22
