Psalm 31:1
Douay-Rheims
To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Ambrose of Milan
For some sins Thou dost wash away in the blood of Thy Son, others Thou dost remit unto us, that by good works and confession we may cover our errors. The expression therefore "that pardoneth iniquities", appertains to remission; because He takes them away altogether, so that the things which He remembers not are as though they did not exist.
