David, in distrust of merits, and hatred of idolatry5. He shows the hope of his calling, of the resurrection, and life everlasting Therefore my heart is glad This phrase reflects a deep sense of joy and contentment that comes from trust in God. In biblical context, the heart often represents the center of emotions and will. The psalmist's gladness is rooted in the assurance of God's presence and protection. This joy is not dependent on external circumstances but on a relationship with God. The use of "therefore" indicates a conclusion drawn from previous verses, where the psalmist expresses confidence in God's guidance and provision. and my tongue rejoices my body also will dwell securely Persons / Places / Events 1. DavidThe author of Psalm 16, traditionally understood to be King David, who expresses his trust and joy in the Lord. 2. God The central figure in the Psalm, in whom David places his trust and finds his security. 3. Heart Represents the inner self or soul, often seen as the seat of emotions and will in Hebrew thought. 4. Tongue Symbolizes expression and communication, reflecting the joy and praise that come from a heart aligned with God. 5. Body Refers to the physical aspect of a person, indicating a holistic sense of security and peace. Teaching Points Joy in the LordTrue joy comes from a relationship with God. David's glad heart and rejoicing tongue are rooted in his trust in the Lord. Holistic Security The security David speaks of encompasses both spiritual and physical well-being, reminding us that God cares for every aspect of our lives. Expression of Faith Our words and expressions should reflect the joy and confidence we have in God, serving as a testimony to others. Trust and Assurance Trusting in God leads to a deep sense of assurance and peace, even amidst life's uncertainties. Resurrection Hope The ultimate security and joy come from the hope of resurrection, as seen in the New Testament application of this Psalm to Jesus.(9) Glory.--Heb., khabod; but probably the poet wrote khabed, i.e., liver, or (comp. "reins" above, and the common use of the word "bowels") heart. The LXX. paraphrase tongue. The passage was so quoted in Acts 2:25. (Comp. Psalm 57:8; Psalm 108:1.) "With the best member that I have" (Prayer Book). Shall rest in hope.--This follows the Vulg. The LXX. also have "shall tabernacle in hope." The true rendering, however, is shall rest in security. In "heart, soul, flesh," the poet comprises the whole living man. (Comp. 1Thessalonians 5:23.) The psalmist feels that the body must share with the soul the immunity from evil which is insured by fellowship with God. Carried out to its full issue, the logical conclusion of this is the doctrine of immortality; but we must not see a conscious reference to it here. Verse 9. - Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth. The thought of God's continual presence at his right hand causes David's "heart" to be "glad," and his "glory" - i.e. his soul, or spirit (Genesis 49:6), man's true glory - to rejoice. My flesh also shall rest in hope. His "flesh" - his corporeal nature, united closely with his "heart" and "spirit" - rests, and will rest, secure, confident that God will watch over it, and make the whole complex man - body, soul, and spirit - to "dwell in safety" (Psalm 4:8).Parallel Commentaries ...
