Verse 7. Blessed. Happy are they: they are highly favoured. See Barnes |Mt 5:3|.
Whose sins are covered. Are concealed; or hidden from the view. On which God will no more look, and which he will no more remember. |By these words,| says Calvin, (in loco,) |we are taught that justification with Paul is nothing else but pardon of sin.| The word cover here has not reference to the atonement, but is expressive of hiding, or concealing, i.e. of forgiving sin.
{m} |Blessed are they| Psa 32:1,2
