Psalms 18:23

I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
Read Chapter 18

Augustine of Hippo

AD 430
24. "And I shall be undefiled with Him, and I shall keep Myself from Mine iniquity" (ver. 23).

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
Him, by his grace. (Worthington) Iniquity, and be careful not to relapse. Others explain it in the past time. I have not shed the blood of my enemy when I could have done it, 1 Kings xxiv. 6, 14. (Calmet) Fui immaculatus. (St. Jerome) (Haydock) It seems most probable that David composed this before his fall, as Aberbanel, one of the most learned of the Jews, asserts. If he be only a figure of Jesus Christ, we may easily conceive how the latter might speak thus of his innocence, and declare his abhorrence of all sin, though he was made a sin-offering, having undertaken to expiate the iniquities of mankind. (Berthier)

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
