Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The wicked have laid a snare for me - As men do to take wild beasts or birds. See the notes at Psalms 119:85. Compare Job 18:8, note; Job 18:10, note; Psalms 9:15, note; Psalms 69:22, note. See also Psalms 119:61, Psalms 119:69.

Yet I erred not from thy precepts - Notwithstanding the danger to which I was exposed, I maintained a steadfast adherence to thy commandments. I was not deterred from obeying them by any peril which beset me.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 119:110. The wicked have laid a snare — Thus their lives were continually exposed to danger.
