Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 16:9

Therefore my heart is glad - In view of this fact, that my confidence is in God alone, and my belief that he is my Protector and Friend. See the notes at Acts 2:26.And my glory rejoiceth - The Septuagint translate this, “my tongue,” and this translation is followed by Peter in his quotation of the passage in Acts 2:26. See the notes at that passage. The meaning here is, that whatever there was in him that was honorable, dignified, or glorious - all the faculties of his soul, as well as his... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 16:10

For thou will not leave - The language used here implies, of course, that what is here called the soul would be in the abode to which the name hell is given, but “how long” it would be there is not intimated. The thought simply is, that it would not be “left” there; it would not be suffered to “remain” there. Whether it would be restored to life again in a few days, or after a longer period, is not implied in the term used. It would be fulfilled, though, as in the case of the Lord Jesus, the... 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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 16:9

Psalms 16:9. Therefore Upon this ground and confidence; my heart is glad I feel, not only a perfect satisfaction, but joy and triumph in my heart. And my glory My tongue, as St. Peter explains it, Acts 2:26. For the Hebrews give the tongue the name of glory, Psalms 30:12; Psalms 57:8; Psalms 108:1, because it was bestowed upon us that we might thereby glorify God and because it is our glory, as being the instrument of expressing our thoughts by words, a privilege not vouchsafed to any... read more

Psalms 16:10. Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell Hebrew, לשׁאול , lesheol, rendered, εις αδην , by the LXX., and εις αδου , in hades, Acts 2:27, which word generally means the invisible world, or the state of separate spirits; not a place of torment, which the word αδης , hades, seldom means, and into which Christ’s soul certainly did not go after it left the body, but into paradise, Luke 23:43-46. See Bishop Pearson on the Creed, and Revelation 20:14, where death and hell (in the... read more

Donald C. Fleming

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

"Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:My flesh also shall dwell in safety.For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol;Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.Thou wilt show me the path of life:In thy presence is fulness of joy;In thy right hand are pleasures forever more.""Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption."
