PSALMS - Here are Some Bible Verses: Psalm 16:1-11 - (SALMOS - Aqui estão Alguns Versículos Bíblicos: Salmo 16:1-11)

Psalm 16

I. JOY IN PRESENT DISTRESS, 1– 8

1.1 David here flies to God's protection with a cheerful believing confidence in it (v. 1)

1.2 He recognizes his solemn dedication of himself to God as his God (v. 2)

1.3 He devotes himself to the honor of God in the service of the saints (v. 2, 3)

1.4 He disclaims the worship of all false gods and all communion with their worshippers, v. 4.

1.5 He repeats the solemn choice he had made of God for his portion and happiness (v. 5), takes to himself the comfort of the choice (v. 6), and gives God the glory of it, v. 7. This is very much the language of a devout and pious soul in its gracious exercises.

16:8 Because the Lord Himself was the main focus of David's attention and satisfaction, he knew no one would shake him in any major way from his stability in life (cf. 15:5c). (…)

Footnotes:

Psalm 16 In the first section, the psalmist rejects the futile worship of false gods (Ps 16:2–5), preferring Israel’s God (Ps 16:1), the giver of the land (Ps 16:6). The second section reflects on the wise and life-giving presence of God (Ps 16:7–11).

16:1 Miktam: a term occurring six times in Psalm superscriptions, always with “David.” Its meaning is unknown.

16:4 Take their names: to use the gods’ names in oaths and hence to affirm them as one’s own gods.

16:6 Pleasant places were measured out for me: the psalmist is pleased with the plot of land measured out to the family, which was to be passed on to succeeding generations (“my inheritance”).

16:10 Nor let your devout one see the pit: Hebrew shahath means here the pit, a synonym for Sheol, the underworld. The Greek translation derives the word here and elsewhere from the verb shahath, “to be corrupt.” On the basis of the Greek, Acts 2:25–32; 13:35–37 apply the verse to Christ’s resurrection, “Nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.”
