Psaume 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.

Psaume 119:110 In-Context

108 Agrée, ô Eternel! les sentiments que ma bouche exprime, Et enseigne-moi tes lois!
109 Ma vie est continuellement exposée, Et je n'oublie point ta loi.
110 Des méchants me tendent des pièges, Et je ne m'égare pas loin de tes ordonnances.
111 Tes préceptes sont pour toujours mon héritage, Car ils sont la joie de mon coeur.
112 J'incline mon coeur à pratiquer tes statuts, Toujours, jusqu'à la fin.
