There's a rest, i.e. pause briefly, on the supertonic in bar 2, beat 1. |

1 Of David, an insight. Happy transgression borne away, sin covered. | |

There are more beatitudes in the Psalms than in the New Testament. I count 25. See my calculations here. Are there as many in the NT? Happiness is a value for the poets of Israel. Let no one tell you otherwise. Corollary: if good news does not make you happy, or give you confidence, there is something wrong with the communication channel. Don't believe what is wrong.
