This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ver. 176. I have gone astray like a lost sheep: this is meant either,
1. Of sinful errors. I have too often swerved from the path of thy precepts through mine own infirmity, or the power of temptation. Or,
2. Of penal errors. I have been banished by the power and tyranny of mine enemies from all my friends and relations, and, which is far worse, from the place of thy worship and presence, and forced to wander hither and thither, hiding myself in mountains, and caves, and woods, exposed to a thousand snares and dangers.
Seek thy servant, as the shepherd doth his wandering sheep, and bring me back into thy fold.
