Radak on Psalms

Let them be caught in the devices that (זוּ) they have planned: – Let them be caught is a prayer: May it please Thee that the wicked be caught in the devices that they have planned to catch the poor. זוּ is to be explained as the equivalent of אשׁר, and so (Is. 42:24): לו חטאנו זוּ, "He against whom we have sinned."
