David's admittance of living a 'blameless' life is different than claiming a 'sinless' one. This was a stumbling block for me when I first started reading God's word. In claiming that he has led a blameless life, David is saying that he has asked and received forgiveness for the sins that he has committed. He understood that there were consequences for the actions he chose to make. It is thought that this Psalm was written as his son Absalom was leading a rebellion and taking control of the City of David. The issue here is not perfection but righteousness. Because of Jesus we have been made right in God's sight. His blood has made an atonement for our sins. His promise has made possible for an incredible relationship with the Almighty. God is good.
Heart and Soul,
