Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

EXPLANATION

Verse 1. David. There is no title in Heb.; and the Greek copies vary. This psalm may be considered as a continuation of the former, with the last verse of which it may be well connected. Calmet.—Some suppose that David composed it after he had been rescued from the giant Jesbibenob. verse 16. 1 Chronicles 20:4. Ferrand.—It is not certain that he is the author; but as other psalms without a title are ascribed to him, we have no reason to deny that he wrote this. Bert.—Many explain it as a thanksgiving of Ezechias. Theod. and so forth—But we need not refer it to any particular event. Calmet.—Upright. But it is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner. Sirach 15:9. Worthington. Psalms 68:16. Calmet.
