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.
