     [ Illustration: The images above illustrate different aspects of the Psalm. I've selected the First Image to represent the "pleasant places" (v. 6) into which God had brought David. The Second and Third Images depict Christ's resurrection as viewed from inside the tomb and from without, respectively -- the ultimate deliverance from the grave as spoken of in verses 10-11 of today's chapter. ]



SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: In Psalm 16, David calls upon, and exalts in, God's preserving power. The closing lines (vs. 10-11) are Messianic and apply to the resurrection of Christ.
     David begins his Psalm by asking God to preserve him. The Psalm closes with a similar and more specific thought, expressing David's confidence in being preserved from death and having fullness of joy at the right hand of God forevermore. This applies particularly to David's descendant, Christ, the Messiah, as shown by the following Scriptures: Acts 2:22-31 Acts 13:35-37 (1).
     The next verse has been interpreted in many ways, but it seems to mean that David acknowledges that he cannot enrich God; but he can be of benefit to those on the earth; and in the saints he takes great delight, showing that they are of benefit to him in that way also (2-3).
     By contrast, those who hasten after some other god and give offerings to him have multiple sorrows (4).
     But the LORD is David's portion. He maintains David's lot in life; and it is very pleasant (5-6). Therefore, David blesses the LORD for his counsel and his instruction day and night (7).
     He keeps the LORD before himself always; and he will not be moved because God is near (8).
     Therefore his heart is glad; he rejoices; and he has hope (9).
     And David closes with an expression of confidence that the LORD will not leave him in hell, nor will he allow him to see corruption (10).
     Rather, the LORD will show him the path of life. And he will be in the presence of the LORD where there is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore. (11).
     As mentioned above, these final thoughts apply chiefly to the Messiah. However, since the Messiah will deliver all who trust in him into the same glory which he has (1 Corinthians 15), the blessings described also apply to David and to all who serve the Messiah in love.

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

Psalm Detailed Outline

THE PSALTER:

(SONGS FOR COVENANT WORSHIP)
Deliverance from Sinners and from Sin

Nearly all the Psalms (except Psalm 90) were written during the 612 year period
from the time of David around 1016 B. C. to the close of the Canon in about 404 B. C.
Psalm 90, according to its superscription, was written by Moses; this may have been around 1406 B. C.

1 Michtam of David. *


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 cup:
thou maintainest my lot.
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 LORD always before me:
because he is at my right hand,
I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad,
and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence
is fulness of joy;
at thy right hand
there are pleasures for evermore.


* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
