THE BOOK OF
PSALMS
PSALM 16
A Messianic Psalm of David—He rejoices in the saints that are in the earth; in his own future redemption from hell; in the fact that God will not suffer his Holy One (Christ) to see corruption; and that fulness of joy is found in the Lord’s presence.
MICHTAM OF DAVID.
1
Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my atrust.
2
O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: amy 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 agod: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
6
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8
I have set the aLord always before me: because he is at my bright hand, I shall not be moved.
9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my aflesh also shall rest in hope.
10
For thou wilt not aleave my bsoul in chell; neither wilt thou suffer thine dHoly One to see corruption.
