In Psalm 16 David is looking for refuge and he turns to God (v1). He acknowledges that God alone is his hope (v2). There needs to be an exclusiveness in our faith.

David’s commitment to God means commitment to God’s people and opposition to the ways of those who follow false gods (v3-4). We cannot be devoted to God and fail to be opposed to false religion.

Davis is filled with praise for God’s blessings on his life (v5-8). His faith is living and joyful. Is your faith like this?

David’s joy is that he will be secure beyond the grace (v9-10). Peter tells us that David is acting here as a prophet speaking of Jesus’ resurrection (Acts 2 v29-32). David’s great hope is in Jesus and the salvation He alone can bring.

David is thrilled, excited, full of praise for the life, the joy in God’s presence and eternal pleasures he will have through Jesus (v11). In all situations we have so much to praise God for.
