Mazmur 124:7

124:7 We escaped with our lives, ¹  like a bird from a hunter’s snare.

The snare broke, and we escaped.

Amsal 6:5

6:5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a snare, ² 

and like a bird from the trap ³  of the fowler.

¹ tn Heb “our life escaped.”

² tn Heb “from the hand.” Most translations supply “of the hunter.” The word “hand” can signify power, control; so the meaning is that of a gazelle freeing itself from a snare or a trap that a hunter set.

³ tc Heb “hand” (so KJV, NAB, NRSV). Some mss and versions have it as “trap,” which may very well represent an interpretation too.
