George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 16:2

Countenance. Pronounce sentence, (Esther i. 19.; Calmet) if I have done wrong. I do not refuse punishment, Psalm vii. 5. (Haydock) --- The Greek and Latin copies vary. Some read correctly with the Hebrew, "Let thy eyes behold what is wrong." Yet St. Jerome (ep. ad Sun.) has "right," with the Syriac, &c. Others more commonly read, "Let mine eyes behold justice." (Calmet) --- Montanus, however, substitutes rectitudines for iniquitates, as Pagnin had rendered mesharim, and Protestants, "the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 16:3

Fire. I have experienced all sorts of misery. (Calmet) --- Iniquity. Hebrew, "Thou hast not found; I have thought." But the same word without points, zamothi, (Haydock) has the sense given by the Septuagint and they knew nothing of these points. (Berthier) --- We may also translate, "Thou hast not found in me any criminal thoughts. My mouth has not transgressed thy orders. " If some thoughts of taking revenge by killing Saul, presented themselves involuntarily, David repressed them;... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 16:4

Men. Houbigant, "My mouth shall not pass to the pretexts of Adam." I will not seek for excuses in sin. (Haydock) --- "My mouth utters not vows to the vain works of men." (Prin. disc.) --- But these versions are singular. (Berthier) --- Hard. Hebrew, "way of the robber." Purits, or prits, (St. Jerome; Haydock) means also "fracture." (Berthier) --- David was ordered by God to retire into the wilderness, and to caves, where he was obliged to live like robbers, (Calmet) and was branded (Calmet)... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 16:5

Perfect. Hebrew, "support" me in these hard ways, where I am in continual danger of falling. (Calmet) --- A Deo est incipere, a Deo est finire. (St. Jerome) --- God's grace enables us to begin and to perfect every good work. (Haydock) --- None can walk right of themselves. (Worthington) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 16:6

Heard me, of former occasions. This encourages me to pray with more confidence (Berthier) and fervour. Bona vota quoties effectum percipiunt, multiplicantur. (St. Gregory, Mor. xxxv. 3.) --- Hebrew also, "thou wilt hear me favourably." (St. Jerome) (Haydock) read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 16:1-11

Prophecy of Christ's Suffering and Resurrection. According to Peter, Acts 2:25-Obadiah :, and Paul, Acts 13:35, this psalm relates to Christ, expressing the feelings of His human nature in view of His sufferings and His victory over death and the grave, including His exaltation to the right hand of God.

Psalms 16:0Michtam of David.1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord:My goodness extendeth not to thee;3 But to the saints that are in the earth,And to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.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.5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 16:5-6

Psalms MAN’S TRUE TREASURE IN GOD Psa_16:5 - Psa_16:6 . We read, in the law which created the priesthood in Israel, that ‘the Lord spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them. I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel’ Num_18:20. Now there is an evident allusion to that remarkable provision in this text. The Psalmist feels that in the deepest sense he has no possession amongst the men who have only... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 16:1-11

the Citizen of Zion and His Inheritance Psalms 15:1-5 ; Psalms 16:1-11 The first of these psalms was probably composed to celebrate the bringing of the Ark to Mount Zion, 1 Samuel 6:20 . It describes the character of those who have fellowship with God and dwell in His house all the days of their earthly lot. To the challenge of the soloist, Psalms 15:1 , the choir makes response, Psalms 15:2-5 , first positively, then negatively. We must act as non-conductors to evil; must mind what company... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 16:1-11

This is a song of satisfaction. The singer is not one who is unfamiliar with peril. The opening sentence is a sigh, revealing the consciousness of peril. Toward the close, the shadows of She01 and the terror of corruption are recognized. Yet these things find a place here only that they may be canceled by the facts which create a sense of triumph over all peril. Jehovah is the one and all-sufficient good and the saints are friends of the singer because they are also friends of Jehovah. With... read more
