Albert Barnes Commentary
"The wicked have laid a snare for me; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts." — Psalms 119:110 (ASV)
The wicked have laid a snare for me - As people do to take wild animals or birds. See the notes at Psalm 119:85. Compare Job 18:8 (see note); Job 18:10 (see note); Psalms 9:15 (see note); Psalms 69:22 (see note). See also Psalm 119:61 and Psalm 119:69.
Yet I erred not from thy precepts - Notwithstanding the danger to which I was exposed, I maintained a steadfast adherence to your commandments. I was not deterred from obeying them by any peril that beset me.
