- The noun for a pit dug as a snare, used of the arrogant who "have dug pits for me" in defiance of God's Law (Psalm 119:85); the citation sampled at Psalm 57:7 does not itself show the word clearly, likely reflecting a one-verse offset from the psalm's actual pit-digging occurrence at Psalm 57:6 in English numbering.
