I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

Verse 24 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.

sondern ich bin ohne Tadel vor ihm und hüte mich vor Sünden.
Y fui íntegro para con él, Y guardeme de mi iniquidad.
He sido íntegro ante él y me he guardado de mi maldad.
J'ai été sans reproche envers lui, Et je me suis tenu en garde contre mon iniquité.
E sono stato intiero inverso lui, E mi son guardato dalla mia iniquità.
Porém fui sincero perante ele; e guardei-me da minha iniqüidade.
我在他面前作了完全人, 我也持守自己遠離罪孽。
