NETBible

I was innocent before him, and kept myself from sinning.¹

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “from my sin,” that is, from making it my own in any way.

¹sn Kept myself from sinning. Leading a blameless life meant that the king would be loyal to God’s covenant, purge the government and society of evil and unjust officials, and reward loyalty to the Lord (see Ps 101).
