Psalms 35:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 35:8
The Hebrew concept of measure-for-measure justice (middah keneged middah) appears here—the hunter caught in his own trap. This principle, evident throughout Proverbs and fulfilled in Haman's execution on his own gallows (Esther 7), reveals God's poetic justice. The word 'unawares' emphasizes that as the wicked surprise the innocent, so divine judgment will surprise them, unable to escape the very destruction they plotted.
