Psalms 18:23

Psa 18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

Ver. 23. I was also upright before him ] This he had because he kept God’s commandments, as Psalms 18:22 , had respect to them all, Psalms 119:6 , both to the magnalia and minutula legis, which he kept as the apple of his eye, Proverbs 7:2 , even all God’s wills, Acts 13:22 , and was therefore approved in Christ, as Apelles, Romans 16:10 , and passed for an Israelite indeed, in whom was no guile, as Nathanael, John 1:47 .

And I kept myself from mine iniquity ] i.e. From my peccatum in deliciis, my darling sin, whereto I am either by nature or custom most inclined and addicted; from the iniquity of my heart and secret thoughts, which no man can charge me with, saith Aben Ezra; from that sin of disloyalty, which Saul and his courtiers charge me with, say others.
