The chapter
What happens here
Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.
Forgiveness is the reason the LORD is feared, and the psalm leaves that curious hinge gleaming in the doorway.
From the depths to the morningvv. 1–6
A voice cries from the depths and asks the LORD to listen closely to a plea for mercy. The matter is not small: if the LORD kept an account of iniquities, nobody could stand. Yet forgiveness is with Him, and the voice waits—first for the LORD, then for His word, and finally with the extravagant patience of watchmen waiting for morning, twice over.
A word to Israelvv. 7–8
The private cry opens outward into an address to Israel. Hope is placed in the LORD, where loving devotion and abundant redemption are found; the final promise is that He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.

Berean Standard Bible, public domain. Names the Hebrew and Greek put in the verse link to the person, place or people they name; the address beside each verse is a link to that verse, which is what a reader copies and shares.

Who else the chapter reaches
Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.
Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
