The Psalmist, out of the experience of former mercies, prays for continuance thereof.8.

The term "iniquity" refers to moral corruption or wickedness, indicating a deep-seated sinfulness. In the Old Testament, forgiveness is often associated with the sacrificial system established in the Law of Moses, where the shedding of blood was required for atonement (Leviticus 17:11). This forgiveness is a foreshadowing of the ultimate forgiveness offered through Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross provides atonement for all humanity's sins (Hebrews 9:22). Historically, this forgiveness can be seen in events such as the return from Babylonian exile, where God restored His people despite their previous disobedience. You covered all their sin.

God's remission of punishment, and restoration of his people to favour, was a full indication that he had "forgiven their iniquity" and "covered their sins." This was so vast a boon, that a pause for devout acknowledgment and silent adoration seemed fitting. Hence the "selah," which is at the end of the second verse, not of the first, as Hengstenberg states. Parallel Commentaries ...
