But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.But — I bear a singular respect and love to all saints, for thy sake, whose friends and servants they are, and whose image they bear.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 16:3

Saints are those dedicated to God by covenant and sacrifice. In the... read more
