2. my soul —must be supplied; expressed in similar cases ( Psalms 42:5 ; Psalms 42:11 ). my goodness . . . thee —This obscure passage is variously expounded. Either one of two expositions falls in with the context. "My goodness" or merit is not on account of Thee—that is, is not for Thy benefit. Then follows the contrast of Psalms 16:3 (but is), in respect, or for the saints, &c.—that is, it enures to them. Or, my goodness —or happiness is not besides Thee —that is, without Thee I have no other source of happiness. Then, " to the saints ," &c., means that the same privilege of deriving happiness from God only is theirs. The first is the most consonant with the Messianic character of the Psalm, though the latter is not inconsistent with it. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
