Psalm 31:1 Douay-Rheims

To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

Of David, a maskil The Sages said (Pes. 117a): Every Psalm in which “maskil” is mentioned was said through an interpreter. Praiseworthy is he whose transgression is forgiven Whose transgression the Holy One, Blessed Be He, forgives, and He conceals his sins. (נשוי is anpardone in Old French, pardoned. The implication is forgiveness, because the forgiveness of iniquity represents [the sin] being lifted up and withdrawn from upon a person.)

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
