Psalms 32:1

Psalms 32:1. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

This is not a blessing for the man who says he has no sin; this is not a benediction for the innocent, who talk about their own good works; but blessed is the man who, having sinned, is pardoned, whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered: in a word, it is a gospel blessing, it is the blessing of free grace.
