For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. David speaks of God’s righteousness and of his own conduct before the Lord. The passage should be read within the poetic language of the song rather than as a claim of absolute moral perfection, especially considering the sins narrated earlier. The central idea is that God responds according to his justice and that his ways are blameless. The text also affirms that God’s word has been tested and that he is a shield to those who trust in him.

Denn alle seine Rechte habe ich vor Augen, und seine Gebote werfe ich nicht von mir;
Porque delante de mí tengo todas sus ordenanzas; Y atento a sus fueros, no me retiraré de ellos.
Todos sus decretos están delante de mí y no me aparto de sus estatutos.
Toutes ses ordonnances ont été devant moi, Et je ne me suis point écarté de ses lois.
Perciocchè io ho tenute davanti agli occhi tutte le sue leggi, E non mi son rivolto da’ suoi statuti.
Porque todos os seus juízos estavam diante de mim; e de seus estatutos não me desviei.
他的一切典章在我面前, 他的律例我也未曾丟棄。
