James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 16:1-11
Psalms 11:0 A song of trust. The declaration “In the Lord put I my trust” (Psalms 11:1 ) is buttressed by the reason (Psalms 11:7 ), while all between describes the condition in which David finds himself. Urged to flee from his enemies (Psalms 11:1 ), he shows the futility of the attempt (Psalms 11:2 ). The moral foundations are being undermined (Psalms 11:3 ), and only Jehovah is able to discriminate and judge (Psalms 11:4-6 ). Psalms 12:0 The evil speaker. The close relation between this... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 16:1-11
A Mictham of David Psalms 16:0 "A Michtam," some say, a musical term. There is another and preferable interpretation namely, "a golden legend." Under this interpretation we may regard the psalm as a kind of jewel-case. All the best treasures of the great singer are to be found in this precious casket. Call the psalm a golden treasury; then it will come before us as containing the most precious things David ever thought about, the most precious hopes by which David was ever animated; a... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 16:3
"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "... The saints that are in the earth." Psa 16:3 Take this as indicating the mixed character of human society. Even if we had no Bible it would be impossible to deny that human society is composed of conflicting and irreconcilable elements. We find in the same community honesty and dishonesty, simplicity and duplicity, faithfulness and faithlessness, generosity and selfishness. The Bible does not create these distinctions; it recognises them. We have... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 16:2-3
This is a most precious portion, in which we find Christ claiming the privilege of covenant relation, and, at the same time, disclaiming all pretensions to merit, from any supposed good Jehovah could derive from the Mediator's righteousness. It is most evident, that Jehovah is not benefited by man's redemption, though it is to the praise of the glory of his grace. But it is the seed of Christ, the excellent of the earth, in whom Christ, as the wisdom-man set up from everlasting, always... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 16:4
It is easy to perceive to what those expressions have reference. No sacrifices could atone for sin, neither satisfy the guilty conscience. If the sacrifices under the law were offered by Israel, with an eye of faith to Jesus, then they were sweetly satisfying and consolatory. But, void of this, it was not possible that the blood of bulls, and of goats, should take away sin. Hebrews 10:4 . It is remarkable, and very conclusive on this subject, that Christ never, in all his ministry, spake of the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 16:5-7
These are very blessed things spoken of, both as they relate to Christ, and to his people in him. Jesus in his human nature, uniformly made Jehovah his portion, and looked unto him to maintain his cause, and carry him safely through his vast undertaking. He not only considered it his meat and his drink to do his Father's will, but his redeemed he considered a goodly heritage. And what is it to his people but the same? They who have chosen God for their portion, find that portion to be a goodly... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 16:1-11
A Revelation of the Christ of God (16-24) Psalms 16:0 1. The obedient One (Psalms 16:1-3 ) 2. The path He went (Psalms 16:4-8 ) 3. Death and resurrection (Psalms 16:9-11 ) In the nine Psalms which compose this section Christ is marvellously revealed. We notice an interesting progress in the messianic message of this section, culminating in the manifestation of the King, the Lord of Glory in Psalms 24:1-10 . In the Sixteenth Psalm we behold Christ in His obedience on earth. See also... read more
