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 Éternel, aie pour agréables les vœux que t'offre ma bouche, et m'enseigne tes ordonnances!
109 Ma vie est continuellement en danger; toutefois, je n'ai point oublié ta loi.
110 Les méchants m'ont tendu des pièges; mais je ne me suis point écarté de tes ordonnances.
111 J'ai pris tes témoignages pour héritage perpétuel; car ils sont la joie de mon cœur.
112 J'ai incliné mon cœur à pratiquer tes statuts, constamment et jusqu'à la fin.
