The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 16:4

Psalms 16:4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another God.The sorrows of idolatersThere is no other fact more incontrovertibly established than the fact that idolatry of every sort is a system of sorrows. Forsaking the one living and true God to serve other gods has written the scroll of human history, within and without, with mourning and lamentation and woe. The command, “Thou shalt have no other gods, but Me,” is a command grounded in the nature of things, and the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 16:5-6

Psalms 16:5-6The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup. Man’s true treasure in GodI. All true religion consists in deliberately choosing God as my supreme good. Now, how do we possess God? We possess things in one fashion and persons in another. The lowest and most imperfect form of possession is that by which a man simply keeps other people off material good, and asserts the right of disposal of it as he thinks proper. A blind man may have the finest picture that ever was... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 16:6

Psalms 16:6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places.We ought to be content with providenceYou have so many accommodations on the road of life that nothing but ignorance and ingratitude can make you discontented. Consider the age of the world in which you live. What conveniences of life we have now. Consider the country which you inhabit. If you could see all other countries you would prefer this. Especially notice the civil liberty which we enjoy. Consider the religion of this country.... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 16:2

Psalms 16:2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; Ver. 2. O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord ] Or, I have said unto the Lord; and so I had rather read it, with Jerome and the Septuagint; because the letter Jod may be wanting in Amarti. See the like, Job 42:2 Ezekiel 16:59 . David was here extra se abreptus, carried beyond himself, and so might easily speak short, and say Amart for Amarti; like as Moses, in a passion, said... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 16:3

Psalms 16:3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight. Ver. 3. But to the saints ] The family of faith were, by a specialty, the object of David’s bounty. Socrates, seeing a certain man giving alms to all he met, whether they were good or bad, said, male pereas qui ex gratiis cure sint virgines, facias scorta. David, the better to persuade with God to preserve him safe to the kingdom, promiseth two things: first, that he will cherish and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 16:4

Psa 16:4 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. Ver. 4. Their sorrows shall be multiplied ] Many sorrows shall be to those wicked idolaters, Psalms 32:10 , some of their own creating by their superstitions and will worships (vide Plutarch, περι δεισιδαιμονιας ); others from a jealous and just God; others from the devil, who acteth and agitateth them, beateth and whippeth them... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 16:5

Psa 16:5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. Ver. 5. The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance ] Therefore I have neither need nor mind to run a madding after dumb idols; for he is good original, universal, all sufficient, and satisfactory, proportionable, and fitting to my soul; so that, having him, I am abundantly provided for. And of my cup ] A phrase taken from those shares that every one had assigned unto him at feasts, Genesis 43:34 1... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 16:6

Psa 16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea, I have a goodly heritage. Ver. 6. The lines are fallen ] In allusion to those lines wherewith they measured land when they parted it. See Deu 32:9 Psalms 105:11 ; Psa 78:55 Acts 26:18 Ephesians 1:11 . David, having God for his portion, could say with Jacob, I have all things, Genesis 33:11 . Paul also saith the same, Philippians 4:18 , and further telleth us that, having nothing, he yet possessed all things; for why, he had got... read more
