A Psalm of Safety
David acknowledges that all good things come through him. God is his inheritance and cup. He has given him pleasant land as an inheritance. God guards all that is his. His heart instructs him at night, and his body rests in safety.
“For in thee do I put my trust,” -Psalm 16:1
“According to thy faith be it done unto thee,” is a great rule of heaven in dispensing favour, and when we can sincerely declare that we exercise faith in the Mighty God with regard to the mercy which we seek, we may rest assured that our plea will prevail. Faith, like the sword of Saul, never returns empty; it overcomes heaven when held in the hand of prayer." -Treasury of David
"The key to understanding Psalm 16 is found in Act_2:25-28 where Peter quotes verses 8-11a as referring to the Resurrection of Christ."-Believer's Bible
"When the Savior said ". . . You will not leave my soul in Sheol," He revealed His foreknowledge that God would not allow Him to remain in the disembodied state. Though He entered Sheol, He did not remain there." -Believer's Bible
