The psalmist describes how those who seek his life lay snares, and those who want to hurt him speak of destruction and plot deceit all day. The addition of enemies actively working toward his harm adds another dimension to the suffering. The mention of those seeking his life introduces the possibility that part of the affliction comes from human hostility, not merely divine judgment. This verse suggests that the psalmist faces both the consequences of his sin and active persecution from enemies.
