Footnotes
Two distinct Greek verbs capture two distinct forgiveness images in Psalm 32:1. ἀφέθησαν (from ἀφίημι) means to release, send away, or discharge — a debt cancelled, a prisoner freed; FOG renders this "released" to preserve the liberation image. ἐπεκαλύφθησαν means to cover over or veil — evoking the atonement cover (kapporet) of the Ark; FOG Message uses the familiar "forgiven" for ἀφίημι, while both versions retain "covered" for the second image.
