16-41 (A3). "THE MAN CHRIST JESUS".
16 (*P) TAKING HIS PLACE OF SUFFERING. (Division.)

P V1 1-7 David speaketh to Jehovah and to the saints.
      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 cup: thou maintainest my lot.
      6. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
      7. I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
  V2 8-11 "David speaketh concerning" Messiah (Acts 2: 25-26).
      8. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
      9. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
      10. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
      11. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
