“Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.”
The petition that their table become a snare and their prosperity a trap articulates the request for divine retribution using the poetic justice principle: that the instruments of sustenance and joy for enemies become instruments of their undoing. The imagery suggests that what the enemies celebrate and rely on will become the means of their judgment. This verse moves from lament to petition for judgment on enemies.
