Psalms 119:61
The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
119:61. The bands of the wicked have robbed me. Aforetime they derided him, and now they have defrauded him. Much of this opposition came from their being banded together: people will dare to do in company what they durst not have thought of alone.
But I have not forgotten thy law. This was well. Neither his sense of injustice, nor his sorrow at his losses, nor his attempts at defense diverted him from the ways of God. He would not do wrong to prevent the suffering of wrong, nor do ill to avenge ill. He was ready to forgive and forget the injuries done him, for his heart was taken up with the Word of God. Some read this passage, “The bands of the wicked environ me.” They shut up every avenue of escape, but the man of God had his protector with him; a clear conscience relied upon the promise, and a brave resolve stuck to the precept. Some people are barely gracious among the circle of their friends, but this man was holy amid a ring of foes.
