The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 16:1-11

Life-long convictions. Happy the man who holds to his faith in God through all changes and chances of this mortal life! Religion to him is a reality. He speaks of what he knows. He commends what he has proved to be good. He can rejoice in the assurance that God, who has been with him hitherto, will keep him safely to the end, and that the portion which satisfied his soul in this life will satisfy his soul eternally. We may take the psalm as expressing certain life-long convictions. I.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 16:7

I will bless the Lord, who hath given his counsel . God has become David's "Counsellor" (see Psalms 32:8 ), makes suggestions to him which he follows, and so guides his life that he feels bound to praise and bless him for it. My reins also instruct me in the night seasons . The reins, according to Hebrew ideas, are the seat of feeling and emotion. David is "instructed" or "stimulated" (Hengstenberg) to bless God by the feelings which stir within him as he lies awake at night—feelings, we... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 16:8

I have set the Lord always before me . I have brought myself, that is, to realize the continual presence of God, alike in happiness and in trouble. I feel him to be ever with me. Because he is at my right hand ( i.e. close to me, ready to protect and save), therefore I shall not be moved . Nothing will shake me or disturb me from my trust and confidence. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 16:8

The supreme choice of the soul. "I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." "I have set Christ always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." I. THIS IS TO MAKE THE JOURNEY OF LIFE FULL OF LIGHT . Pillar of cloud and fire. And this, in whatever view you look at this life—whether as a stage on which work has to be done , or on which good has to be acquired, or as a journey to reach our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 16:8-11

The confidence of the psalmist's faith in the future. The two main ideas of the writer are Not, of course, from death altogether; he could not hope to be finally delivered from the grave. The prayer therefore, must have been for deliverance, from impending , danger, from death that was then. threatened at that time, and for being conducted into and preserved in "the path of life." The application which has been made of the ninth and tenth verses to Christ by Peter and Paul has led... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 16:7

I will bless the Lord, who hath given the counsel - Probably the reference here is to the fact that the Lord had counseled him to choose him as his portion, or had inclined him to his service. There is nothing for which a heart rightly affected is more disposed to praise God than for the fact that by his grace it has been inclined to serve him; and the time when the heart was given away to God is recalled ever onward as the happiest period of life.My reins ... - See the notes at Psalms 7:9.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 16:8

I have set the Lord always before me - By night as well as by day; in my private meditations as well as in my public professions. I have regarded myself always as in the presence of God; I have endeavored always to feel that, his eye was upon me. This, too, is one of the certain characteristics of piety, that we always feel that we are in the presence of God, and that we always act as if his eye were upon us. Compare the notes at Acts 2:25.Because he is at my right hand - The right hand was... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 16:7

Psalms 16:7. I will bless the Lord who hath given me counsel The Hebrew, יעצני , jegnatzani, may be rendered, hath consulted for me, that is, by his wise and gracious counsel hath provided so good a heritage for me: or, who hath inspired that counsel and wisdom into me by which I have chosen him for my portion and happiness, and am so fully satisfied with him. So ignorant and foolish are we, that, if we be left to ourselves, our hearts will follow our eyes, and we shall choose our own... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 16:8

Psalms 16:8. I have set the Lord always before me I have always presented him to my mind as my witness and judge, as my patron and protector, in the discharge of my office, and in all my actions. Hitherto David seems to have spoken chiefly in his own person, and with special regard to himself, but now he appears to be transported by the Spirit of prophecy, to be carried above himself, and to have an eye to the man Christ Jesus only, who is, and was, the end of the law, and the great subject... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 16:1-11

Psalms 14-17 Godly people in ungodly societyContinuing the theme of Psalms 10-13 (concerning the godly person who is downtrodden), the psalmist notes what happens when people refuse to acknowledge God and live as if he does not care about their actions. The result is a corrupt society (14:1-3). Because they have rejected God they have rejected the true standard by which to judge good and evil. They live solely for themselves, with no consideration for others and no thought for God (4). But in... read more
