David said the same thing. He said that people are ·truly blessed [happy; spiritually fulfilled] when God, ·without paying attention to their deeds [apart from works], ·makes people right with himself [L credits/counts righteousness to them].

“·Blessed [Happy; Spiritually fulfilled] are they
    whose ·sins [lawless deeds] are forgiven,
    whose ·wrongs [sins] are ·pardoned [covered; blotted out].
·Blessed [Happy; Spiritually fulfilled] is the person
    whom the Lord does not ·consider guilty [L count sin against; Ps. 32:1–2].”

David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

    whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”[a](A)
