VERSE (9) - Ps 69:22,23

SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:9

Y David dice: Sales vuelta su mesa en trampa, y en red, y en tropezadero, y en paga;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 11:9

Verse 9. And David saith, Let their table, &c.] And from their present disposition it is reasonable to conclude that the same evils will fall upon them as fell upon the disobedient in former times, as predicted by David, Psa. lxix. 22, 23, that their very blessings should become curses to them, and their temporal mercies be their only recompense; and yet even these earthly blessings, by not being enjoyed in the Lord, should be a stumbling block over which they should fall, and, instead of being a blessing, should be the means of their punishment. They would have a worldly Messiah, and therefore they rejected him whose kingdom was not of this world.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 9. And David saith , etc..] That is, Christ by the mouth of David, or David in the person of Christ; for the psalm out of which the following words are taken is a prophecy of the Messiah, as appears from some passages cited out of it in the New Testament, and applied to Christ; compare ( Romans 11:4) with ( John 15:25), and ( Romans 11:9) with ( John 2:17 Romans 15:3), and ( Romans 11:21) with ( John 19:28,29); and what are here cited are not so much imprecations, as predictions of what should befall the Jews, by way of recompense for their ill usage of the Messiah, in giving him gall for meat, and vinegar for drink, ( Matthew 27:34): let their table be made a snare, and a trap and a stumbling block . By their table may be meant, the altar; (see Malachi 1:7,12); and the sacrifices offered up upon it, their meat offerings and drink offerings, and all others; likewise the laws concerning the difference of meats, and indeed the whole ceremonial law may be intended, which lay in meats and drinks, and such like things: now the Jews placing their justifying righteousness before God, in the observance of these rites and ceremonies, and imagining that by these sacrifices their sins were really expiated and atoned for, they neglected and submitted not to the righteousness of Christ, but went about to establish their own; so that that which should have led them to Christ, became an handwriting of ordinances against them, and rendered Christ of no effect to them: moreover, the sacred writings, which are full of spiritual food and divine refreshment, the prophecies of the Old Testament, which clearly pointed out Christ, not being understood, but misapplied by them, proved a trap, a snare, and a stumbling block to them; so that they rejected the true Messiah, which issued in their utter ruin and destruction: yea, the preaching of the Gospel, the salutary truths and wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ, were a stumbling block to the Jews, nay, even the savour of death unto death. Though these words may be literally understood of their table mercies, the necessary provisions of life, their common food and drink, of which they had great scarcity in their last wars; so that they not only by wicked methods stole it from one another, but ate what was forbidden by their law, and what was abhorrent to nature, as one is said to eat her own child; nor is it to be overlooked what is suggested by some, that the passover may be meant by their table; which was their grand yearly feast, and which they were eating when they were surrounded and taken by the Roman army, like birds in a net, or beasts in a trap: and all this as a recompense to them ; a just judgment upon them, by way of retaliation for their ill treatment of Christ when on the cross, giving him gall and vinegar for his meat and drink.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-10 - There was a chosen remnant of believing Jews, who had righteousness an life by faith in Jesus Christ. These were kept according to the election of grace. If then this election was of grace, it could not be of works, either performed or foreseen. Every truly good disposition in a fallen creature must be the effect, therefore it cannot be the cause of the grace of God bestowed on him. Salvation from the first to the last must be either of grace or of debt. These things are so directl contrary to each other that they cannot be blended together. God glorifies his grace by changing the hearts and tempers of the rebellious. How then should they wonder and praise him! The Jewis nation were as in a deep sleep, without knowledge of their danger, or concern about it; having no sense of their need of the Saviour, or of their being upon the borders of eternal ruin. David, having by the Spirit foretold the sufferings of Christ from his own people, the Jews foretells the dreadful judgments of God upon them for it, Ps 69. Thi teaches us how to understand other prayers of David against his enemies; they are prophecies of the judgments of God, not expression of his own anger. Divine curses will work long; and we have our eye darkened, if we are bowed down in worldly-mindedness.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

9. David saith. Psalm lxix. 23, 24. It is doubtful whether David was the author. Some high authorities are inclined to ascribe it to Jeremiah. David here may mean nothing more than the book of Psalm. 56 Table. Representing material prosperity: feasting in wicked security. Some explain of the Jews' presumptuous confidence in the law.

Snare (pagida), From phgnumi to make fast. The anchor is called pagiv the maker-fast of the ships.

Trap (qhran). Lit., a hunting. Only here in the New Testament, and neither in the Hebrew nor Septuagint. Many render net, following Psalm xxxv. 8, where the word is used for the Hebrew resheth net. No kind of snare will be wanting. Their presumptuous security will become to them a snare, a hunting, a stumbling-block.

A recompense (antapodoma). Substituted by the Septuagint for the Hebrew, to them at ease. It carries the idea of a just retribution.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

11:9 {David says} (Daueid legei). From #Ps 69:23f; (#68:23f LXX); #34:8; 28:4 (combined quotation). {Table} (trapeza). For what is on the table, "a feast." {A snare} (eis pagida). From pegnumi, to make fast, old word for snares for birds and beasts. See on Lu 21:35. eis in predicate with ginomai is a translation-Hebraism. {A trap} (eis thran). Old word for hunting of wild beasts, qen a trap. Only here in N.T. {A stumbling-block} (eis skandalon). A third word for trap, snare, trap-stick or trigger over which they fall. See on 1Co 1:23; Ro 9:33. {A recompense} (eis antapodoma). Late word from double compound verb antapodid"mi, to repay (both anti and apo). Ancient Greeks used antapodosis. In LXX and Didache. In N.T. only here (bad sense) and #Lu 14:12 (good sense).
