For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Ver. 21. For I have kept the ways of the Lord] For the main, and for the most part, though not without some particular stumblings and startings aside, against my general resolution and the tendency of mine heart.
And have not wickedly departed from my God] By an utter defection; I have not been transformed into sin's image, by projecting sin, by falling into it with full consent, and by lying under the power of it. Non ex superbia sed errore, saith E. David here; not of presumption have I offended, or with a high hand, but of infirmity, and with reluctance; rising up again by repentance, and renewing my covenant.
