The proud.This metaphor is taken from the mode in which wild beasts are caught in the East:
deep pits are dug in the earth, and slightly covered over with reeds, turf, etc., so as not to be discerned from the solid ground; and the animals attempting to walk over them, the surface breaks, they fall in, and are taken alive.
Thus the Psalmist's enemies employed craft as well as power in order to effect his ruin.
