I err'd not from them, though for me the wicked snares did set.
The wicked have laid a snare for me: Yet I erred not from thy precepts.
The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I do not stray from Your precepts.
The wicked have laid a snare for me; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts.
Though the wicked have set a trap for me, I won’t stray from your precepts.
Unfeignedly thee have I sought with all my soul and heart: O let me not from the right path of thy commands depart.
Thou hast rebuk'd the cursed proud, who from thy precepts swerve.
The men whose hearts with pride are stuff'd did greatly me deride; Yet from thy straight commandements I have not turn'd aside.
The proud have digged pits for me, which is against thy laws.
They so consum'd me, that on earth my life they scarce did leave: Thy precepts yet forsook I not, but close to them did cleave.
For me the wicked have laid wait, me seeking to destroy: But I thy testimonies true consider will with joy.
The proud for me a snare have hid, and cords; yea, they a net Have by the way-side for me spread; they gins for me have set.
Lord, keep me safely from the snares which they for me prepare; And from the subtile gins of them that wicked workers are.
But, as one deaf, that heareth not, I suffer'd all to pass; I as a dumb man did become, whose mouth not open'd was:
My heart is fix'd, my heart is fix'd, O God; I'll sing and praise.
