Psalm 119:61

The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.

Cross-reference

Psalm 119:95 repeats the theme: wicked plot against the psalmist, yet he remains focused on God's testimonies — direct parallel.

In Psalm 119:176, the psalmist admits straying like a lost sheep — contrasting with his claim here that he has not forgotten God's law despite persecution.

In Psalm 119:83, the psalmist is like a wineskin in smoke — another image of suffering from persecution, parallel to being plundered by wicked bands.

In Psalm 119:87, the wicked nearly destroy the psalmist — a more extreme version of the plundering here, showing escalating persecution.

Psalm 3:1 Parallel

Psalm 3:1 describes many enemies rising up, similar to the 'bands of the wicked' robbing the psalmist in Psalm 119:61.

Hosea 4:6 Contrast

In Hosea 4:6, God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge — contrasting with the psalmist who knows and remembers God's law despite being plundered.
