The imagery of a "snare" suggests a trap laid with malicious intent, indicating the deceitful and cunning nature of the wicked. In biblical times, snares were often used by hunters to capture animals, symbolizing the danger and subtlety of the threats faced by the psalmist. This aligns with other scriptures such as <a href="/psalms/140-5.htm">Psalm 140:5</a>, where the wicked are described as setting traps for the righteous. The psalmist's experience can be seen as a type of Christ, who also faced traps and snares from His adversaries, as seen in the Gospels when the Pharisees and Sadducees sought to entrap Him with their questions.<p><b>but I have not strayed from Your precepts</b><br>Despite the presence of traps and the pressure from the wicked, the psalmist remains steadfast in adherence to God's precepts. This commitment to God's law is a central theme in <a href="/psalms/119.htm">Psalm 119</a>, emphasizing the importance of obedience and faithfulness. The term "precepts" refers to God's commandments and teachings, which provide guidance and protection. The psalmist's resolve not to stray is reminiscent of <a href="/joshua/1-7.htm">Joshua 1:7</a>, where Joshua is instructed to be strong and very courageous, being careful to act in accordance with all the law. This steadfastness is also a reflection of Jesus Christ, who perfectly fulfilled the law and remained obedient to the Father, even in the face of temptation and persecution.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to King David, the psalmist is a devout follower of God, expressing his commitment to God's laws despite facing adversities.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wicked.htm">The Wicked</a></b><br>Represents those who oppose God's ways and seek to lead the faithful astray through deceit and traps.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/snares.htm">Snares</a></b><br>Symbolic of the temptations and challenges that believers face, set by those who oppose righteousness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_precepts.htm">God's Precepts</a></b><br>Refers to the commandments and teachings of God, which the psalmist is committed to following.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_path_of_righteousness.htm">The Path of Righteousness</a></b><br>The journey of living according to God's laws, which the psalmist strives to maintain despite external pressures.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/a/awareness_of_spiritual_snares.htm">Awareness of Spiritual Snares</a></b><br>Believers must be vigilant and discerning, recognizing the traps set by those who oppose God's ways.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/commitment_to_god's_word.htm">Commitment to God's Word</a></b><br>Like the psalmist, we should remain steadfast in our commitment to God's precepts, using them as a guide to navigate life's challenges.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_god's_precepts.htm">The Power of God's Precepts</a></b><br>God's laws provide a firm foundation and direction, helping us avoid spiritual pitfalls and maintain a righteous path.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/resilience_in_faith.htm">Resilience in Faith</a></b><br>Despite external pressures and temptations, maintaining a strong faith and adherence to God's teachings is crucial for spiritual growth.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_prayer_and_scripture.htm">The Role of Prayer and Scripture</a></b><br>Regular prayer and study of Scripture fortify us against the snares of the wicked, enabling us to stay true to God's path.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_119.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 119</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/key_themes_of_psalms.htm">What are the key themes of the Book of Psalms?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_was_jesus'_place_of_residence.htm">What defines a psalm?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/main_themes_of_psalms.htm">What are the main themes of the Psalms?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/main_themes_of_david's_psalms.htm">What are the main themes of the Psalms of David?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/119.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 110.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The wicked have laid a snare for me</span> (comp. vers. 85, 95). <span class="cmt_word">Yet I erred not from thy precepts</span>.
