  Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven  
 
 

Psalm 32:1
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven; whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit, there is no deceit.

In these first two verses, David used three words to describe sin.
- The idea behind transgression is crossing a line, defying authority.
- The idea behind sin is falling short of or missing a mark.
- The idea behind iniquity is of crookedness and distortion.

In the first two verses, David used three terms to describe what God does to put away sin.
- The idea behind forgiven is the lifting of a burden or a debt.
- The idea behind covered is that of sacrificial blood covering sin.
- The idea behind does not impute is bookkeeping; it does not count against a person.

The psalmist declares that the forgiveness of sin, of whatever kind – whether against God or man, whether great or small, whether conscientious or inadvertent, or whether by omission or commission – is to be found in God.

Application

Thank God for forgiving your sins.
