Psalms 119:85

The proud, &c.— If we understand the latter clause of this verse to refer to pits, the meaning is, "which insidious designs against an innocent person are not after thy law." But Mudge renders it thus: The proud dig pits for me, who are not according to thy law: i.e. who act and behave without any regard to it; who have renounced all conformity to it. See Psalms 119:150. Houbigant, instead of pits, reads words or discourses. The proud have agitated discourses, concerning me, which are not according to thy law.
