诗篇 16:7 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 16:1-7

This psalm is entitled Michtam, which some translate a golden psalm, a very precious one, more to be valued by us than gold, yea, than much fine gold, because it speaks so plainly of Christ and his resurrection, who is the true treasure hidden in the field of the Old Testament. I. David here flies to God's protection with a cheerful believing confidence in it (Ps. 16:1): ?Preserve me, O God! from the deaths, and especially from the sins, to which I am continually exposed; for in thee, and in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 16:7

I will bless the Lord ,.... As prayer, so thanksgiving belongs to Christ, as man and Mediator; see Matthew 11:25 ; and here he determines to praise the Lord, and give thanks to him for counsel and instruction: who hath given me counsel ; for though he himself is the Counsellor, with respect to his people, yet as man he received counsel from God, and the spirit of counsel rested on him, Isaiah 11:2 ; and fitted him for and directed him in the execution of his prophetic office; for the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 16:7

Who hath given me counsel - Jesus, as man, received all his knowledge and wisdom from God; Luke 2:40-52 . And in him were hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. My reins also instruct me - כליותי kilyothai , reins or kidneys, which from their retired situation in the body, says Parkhurst, and being hidden in fat, are often used in Scripture for the most secret workings and affections of the heart. The kidneys and their fat were always to be burnt in sacrifice, to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 16:7

Verse 7 Last of all, David confesses that it was entirely owing to the pure grace of God that he had come to possess so great a good, and that he had been made a partaker of it by faith. It would be of no advantage to us for God to offer himself freely and graciously to us, if we did not receive him by faith, seeing he invites to himself both the reprobate and the elect in common; but the former, by their ingratitude, defraud themselves of this inestimable blessing. Let us, therefore, know that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 16:1-11

Once thine, ever thine: the song of a saint, the vision of a seer. This psalm yields many texts for instructive discourse; but it is not on any of them that we propose now to dwell, but on the psalm as a whole. It is one of the most evangelical in all the five books of the Psalms. It opens with a prayer and a plea; but its main current is that of joy and praise. It is moreover repeatedly quoted in the New Testament, where, by the Apostles Peter and Paul, some of its words are declared to... read more

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

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.

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
