SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:15

Pozo ha cavado, y lo ha ahondado; y en la fosa que hizo caerá.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 7:15

Verse 15. He made a pit ] He determined the destruction of David. He laid his plans with much artifice; he executed them with zeal and diligence; and when he had, as he supposed, the grave of David digged, he fell into it himself! The metaphor is taken from pits dug in the earth, and slightly covered over with reeds &C.. so as not to be discerned from the solid ground; but the animal steps on them, the surface breaks, and he falls into the pit and is taken. "All the world agrees to acknowledge the equity of that sentence, which inflicts upon the guilty the punishment intended by them for the innocent." - Horne.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-17 - David is confident that he shall find God his powerful Saviour. The destruction of sinners may be prevented by their conversion; for it is threatened, If he turn not from his evil way, let him expect it will by his ruin. But amidst the threatenings of wrath, we have a graciou offer of mercy. God gives sinners warning of their danger, and space to repent, and prevent it. He is slow to punish, and long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish. The sinner is described ver. #(14-16), as taking more pains to ruin his soul than, if directe aright, would save it. This is true, in a sense, of all sinners. Let u look to the Saviour under all our trials. Blessed Lord, give us grac to look to thee in the path of tribulation, going before thy church an people, and marking the way by thine own spotless example. Under all the persecutions which in our lesser trials mark our way, let the looking to Jesus animate our minds and comfort our hearts __________________________________________________________________
