Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
Quoted verbatim in 4:7-8 ('Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven... Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin'). Paul attributes it to David and links it to Genesis 15:6 by gezerah shawah on the shared verb 'reckon/charge' (logizomai): the man to whom the Lord does NOT reckon sin = the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works.
