Salmi 119:110

110 Gli empi mi hanno tesi de’ lacci; E pur non mi sono sviato da’ tuoi comandamenti.

Salmi 119:110 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:110

The wicked have laid a snare for me
To draw him into sin, and so into mischief; and even to take away his life, as they are said to dig pits for him, ( Psalms 119:85 ) ;

yet I erred not from thy precepts:
not wilfully and wickedly, though through inadvertence and infirmity, as he often did, and every good man does; and indeed his errors are so many, that they cannot be understood and numbered. The sense is, he kept on in the way of his duty; did not desist from that, or wickedly depart from his God, and his worship, to escape the snares of bad men.

Salmi 119:110 In-Context

108 Deh! Signore, gradisci le offerte volontarie della mia bocca, Ed insegnami le tue leggi.

109 Io ho l’anima mia del continuo in palma di mano; E pur non ho dimenticata la tua Legge.

110 Gli empi mi hanno tesi de’ lacci; E pur non mi sono sviato da’ tuoi comandamenti.

111 Le tue testimonianze son la mia eredità in perpetuo; Perciocchè esse son la letizia del mio cuore.

112 Io ho inchinato il mio cuore a mettere in opera i tuoi statuti, In perpetuo, infino al fine.
