The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 16:1-11

Prophecy of Christ's Suffering and Resurrection. According to Peter, Acts 2:25-Obadiah :, and Paul, Acts 13:35, this psalm relates to Christ, expressing the feelings of His human nature in view of His sufferings and His victory over death and the grave, including His exaltation to the right hand of God. The words of Paul, Php_2:6-11 , are a fine commentary to this psalm. Michtam, a hymn, or anthem, distinguished by the use of epigrams, of David. v. 1. Preserve Me, O God, protecting the... read more

Psalms 16:0Michtam of David.1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord:My goodness extendeth not to thee;3 But to the saints that are in the earth,And to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god:Their drink offerings of blood will I not offer,Nor take up their names into my lips.5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my... read more

Psalms GOD WITH US, AND WE WITH GOD Psa_16:8 , Psa_16:11 . There are, unquestionably, large tracts of the Old Testament in which the anticipation of immortality does not appear, and there are others in which its presence may be doubtful. But here there can be no hesitation, I think, as to the meaning of these words. If we regard them carefully, we shall not only see clearly the Psalmist’s hope of immortal life, but shall discern the process by which he came to it, and almost his very act of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 16:1-11

the Citizen of Zion and His Inheritance Psalms 15:1-5 ; Psalms 16:1-11 The first of these psalms was probably composed to celebrate the bringing of the Ark to Mount Zion, 1 Samuel 6:20 . It describes the character of those who have fellowship with God and dwell in His house all the days of their earthly lot. To the challenge of the soloist, Psalms 15:1 , the choir makes response, Psalms 15:2-5 , first positively, then negatively. We must act as non-conductors to evil; must mind what company... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 16:1-11

This is a song of satisfaction. The singer is not one who is unfamiliar with peril. The opening sentence is a sigh, revealing the consciousness of peril. Toward the close, the shadows of She01 and the terror of corruption are recognized. Yet these things find a place here only that they may be canceled by the facts which create a sense of triumph over all peril. Jehovah is the one and all-sufficient good and the saints are friends of the singer because they are also friends of Jehovah. With... read more

‘I Have Set YHWH Always Before Me’ (8-11). ‘I have set YHWH always before me, Because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices, My flesh also will dwell in safety. For you will not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor will you suffer your holy one (or ‘beloved one’ - chasid - a man separated by covenant love) to see corruption. You will show me the path of life, In your presence is fullness of joy, In your right hand there are pleasures for... read more

XVI. God, the Supreme Good. Psalms 16:1-Leviticus : . The Psalmist’ s devotion to God and His saints. Psalms 16:2 b, Psalms 16:3 . The text is corrupt; RV requires a slight emendation or we may supply, “ I have said,” from Psalms 16:2. “ And I have said of the holy ones that are in the land: they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.” But the LXX had a very different text. Some ancient authorities omit Psalms 16:2 b or read, “ because thou hast no need of my goods.” In LXX 3... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 16:11

Thou wilt show me, i.e. give me an exact and experimental knowledge of it, for my own comfort, and the benefit of my people. The path of life, i.e. the way that leadeth to life; not to a temporal and mortal life here, for he is supposed to be dead and buried, Psalms 16:10; but to an endless, and immortal, and blessed life after death in the presence of God, as it followeth; the way to which is by the resurrection of the body. So the sense is, Thou wilt raise me from the grave, and conduct me to... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 16:1-11

INTRODUCTION“The first clause contains in germ the thought of the entire psalm, namely, that the pious man has always protection with God against all his enemies. From this assurance arises the cry of prayer (Psalms 16:1), whose form shows the experience of pressing danger, but immediately passes over into the confession of the way in which the Psalmist proposes to act in consequence of his relation to God (Psalms 16:2) and to His people (Psalms 16:3). In Psalms 16:4 the Psalmist maintains... read more
