Commentary on Psalms 16:3

Theological / Devotional

Saints. Heb. qedoshim, literally, “holy ones.” Holiness is godlikeness (see Lev. 19:2). God’s people, obedient to His law and wearing the robe of Christ’s righteousness, should rejoice that God calls them His saints. David takes delight in associating with the saints. They are God’s excellent men—God’s true nobility. Love to God is the surest bond of unity among God’s people (see Ps. 55:14 ; 133).
