For they that work iniquity
have not walked in His ways.
= doing no iniquity, they have started to walk in His ways. This applies to those who did verses 1 and 2:
Constantly unwavering in mind, senses, and deeds, they walk only in God’s ways.
The person becomes totally renewed in the image of the Creator, with unyielding love, led by the Holy Spirit. They also become tools of divine Providence for others, like Seraphim of Sarov.
We have sinful desires within us. Walking in God’s ways means not obeying them.
We pray for these small sins that distract us: forgive us our debts.
