Psalms 119:61
Though the ropes of the wicked bind me, I do not forget Your law.
BSB
ASV

The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
The bands of the wicked have robbed me,.... Very probably Saul and his ministers seized on his effects, when he fled from him; and the Amalekites plundered him of all his substance, when they took Ziklag; and Absalom and the conspirators with him robbed him, when he was obliged, because of them, to flee from his palace and court, which they entered and took possession of.
