Psalm 24:8
Douay-Rheims
The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.
Rashi
The Lord is good and upright and wishes to exonerate His creatures. therefore, He leads sinners on the road of repentance. Another explanation: He leads sinners, meaning murderers [who flee to the cities of refuge], as it is said (in Deut. 19:3): “You shall prepare for yourself the road, etc.” Refuge, refuge,” was written at the crossroads, etc., as is stated in Makkoth, chapter 2 (10b).
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
