How blessed is the one whose rebellious acts are forgiven, whose sin is pardoned! How blessed is the one whose wrongdoing the LORD does not punish, in whose spirit there is no deceit. (Psalms 32:1-2 NET.)
"just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:" (NASB)
"Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works," (KJV)
"David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:" (NLT)
"So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:" (NET)
If salvation could be based upon work, David didn't have them. His works were much to the contrary. So he has every reason to be happy.
How blessed is the one whose rebellious acts are forgiven, whose sin is pardoned! How blessed is the one whose wrongdoing the LORD does not punish, in whose spirit there is no deceit. (Psalms 32:1-2 NET.)
