2 Samuel 22:22

For I have obeyed the Lord’s commands; ¹  I have not rebelled against my God. ² 

For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not done evil by turning from my God.

"For I have kept the ways of the LORD, And have not acted wickedly against my God.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not turned from my God to follow evil.

Indeed, I've kept alert to GOD's ways; I haven't taken God for granted.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

For I have obeyed the Lord’s commands; ¹  I have not rebelled against my God. ² 

¹ tn Heb “for I have kept the ways of the Lord.” The phrase “ways of the Lord” refers here to the “conduct required” by the Lord (see HALOT 232 s.v. דֶרֶךְ). In Ps 25 the Lord’s “ways” are associated with his covenantal demands (see vv. 4, 9-10). See also Ps 119:3 (cf. vv. 1, 4), as well as Deut 8:6; 10:12; 11:22; 19:9; 26:17; 28:9; 30:16.

² tn Heb “I have not acted wickedly from my God.” The statement is elliptical, the idea being, “I have not acted wickedly and, in so doing, departed from my God.”
