# if you walk before me as David your father walked The way a person lives is spoken of as if that person were walking on a path. Alternate translation: "if you live the way I want you to live, just as David your father did" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) # in integrity of heart and in uprightness These two phrases mean basically the same thing and emphasize how righteous David was.
