Contextual Overview

20 The Lord spared me because I did what was right. Because I have not done evil, he has rewarded me. 21 I have followed the ways of the Lord ; I have not done evil by turning away from my God. 22 I remember all his laws and have not broken his rules. 23 I am innocent before him; I have kept myself from doing evil. 24 The Lord rewarded me because I did what was right, because I did what the Lord said was right. 25 Lord , you are loyal to those who are loyal, and you are good to those who are good. 26 You are pure to those who are pure, but you are against those who are bad. 27 You save the humble, but you bring down those who are proud. 28 Lord , you give light to my lamp. My God brightens the darkness around me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For all his judgments [were] before me,.... That is, the precepts of the law of God, which David had a respect unto, loved, took delight and pleasure in, and so had them all in his sight, and made them the rule of his actions; and the law of God is delighted in by regenerate persons, after the inward man; and though it is abolished as a covenant of works, it is a rule of walk and conversation to the saints; and as such they keep it in view, and regard it impartially, not only some of its precepts, but all. This in the highest and fullest sense was done by Christ, who was made under the law, in whose heart it was, and who came to fulfil it, and has completely fulfilled it;

and I did not put away his statutes from me; in 2 Samuel 22:23; it is read, "and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them"; the sense is the same; this may have respect to the ceremonial law, and the ordinances of it, which David abode by, very strictly observed, renewed, and put in order; and which Christ, his antitype, never departed from, but conformed unto throughout the whole of his life; witness his circumcision, keeping of the passover, attendance on the synagogue and temple worship; nor did he put them away until they had their full accomplishment in him; when there was a disannulling of them because of their weakness and unprofitableness.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For all his judgments - All his statutes, ordinances, laws. The word judgment is commonly used in this sense in the Scriptures, as referring to that which God has judged or determined to be right.

Were before me - That is, I acted in view of them, or as having them to guide me. They were constantly before my eyes, and I regulated my conduct in accordance with their requirements.

And I did not put away his statutes from me - I did not reject them as the guide of my conduct.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 18:22. All his judgments were before me — I kept his law before my eyes, that I might see my duty and know how to walk and please God.
