Psalm 51:3
Douay-Rheims
Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?
Rashi
Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast and brag of the evil that you do, you who are mighty in Torah? God’s kindness is constant to rescue the one whom you pursue. Another explanation: God’s kindness is constant. Had Ahimelech not given me bread, do you think that I would have died of hunger? God always shows kindness toward Israel, and if he had not given me [to eat], others would have given me.
