Source: BibleWord.ai's local reference edition of this named work.
The wicked have laid a snare for me, etc.] 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, (<19B985>Psalm 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.
