Matthew on Psalms 16 (개요)

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

P S A L M S PSALM XVI. This psalm has something of David in it, but much more of Christ. It begins with such expressions of devotion as may be applied to Christ; but concludes with such confidence of a resurrection (and so timely a one as to prevent corruption) as must be applied to Christ, to him only, and cannot be understood of David, as both St. Peter and St. Paul have observed, Acts 2:24 ; Acts 13:36 . For David died, and was buried, and saw corruption. I. David speaks of himself as a member of Christ, and so he speaks the language of all good Christians, professing his confidence in God ( Psalms 16:1 ), his consent to him ( Psalms 16:2 ), his affection to the people of God ( Psalms 16:3 ), his adherence to the true worship of God ( Psalms 16:4 ), and his entire complacency and satisfaction in God and the interest he had in him, Psalms 16:5-7 . II. He speaks of himself as a type of Christ, and so he speaks the language of Christ himself, to whom all the rest of the psalm is expressly and at large applied ( Acts 2:25-28 , c.). David speaks concerning him (not concerning himself), "I foresaw the Lord always before my face," &c. And this he spoke, being a prophet, Acts 2:30 ; Acts 2:31 . He spoke, 1. Of the special presence of God with the Redeemer in his services and sufferings, Psalms 16:8 . 2. Of the prospect which the Redeemer had of his own resurrection and the glory that should follow, which carried him cheerfully through his undertaking, Psalms 16:9-11 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-7" class="com-number"
