Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
Verse Takeaways

A Complete Covering
Commentators explain that the words "forgiven" and "covered" describe a profound and complete divine act. "Forgiven" (literally "lifted up") suggests sin is carried away, while "covered" means it is hidden from God's sight by the atonement of Christ. This isn't a partial pardon but a total removal of guilt, treating the sinner as if they had never sinned.
