The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; but I have not forgotten thy law.
Clarke's Psalms 119:61 Bible Commentary
The bands of the wicked have robbed me - חבלי chebley, the cables, cords, or snares of the wicked. They have hunted us like wild beasts; many they have taken for prey, and many they have destroyed.
Barnes's Psalms 119:61 Bible Commentary
The bands of the wicked - Margin, "companies." The Hebrew word properly means a cord, a rope; then a snare, gin, net; then, a band or a company of men. The reference is to some time in the life of the psalmist when he was surrounded by wicked men.
Have robbed me - Rather, have surrounded me; have environed me - for so the Hebrew word means.
But I have not forgotten thy law - I have not been deterred from keeping it by the dangers to which I have been exposed.
Wesley's Psalms 119:61 Bible Commentary
119:61 Robbed - Done me many injuries, for my respect to thy law.
