Psalm 16:<\/p>\n

Author:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>King David–the second king of Israel and father of the Davidic royal and messianic dynasty. David composed over seventy of the 150 psalms of Sefer Tehillim.<\/span><\/p>\n

Genre:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>Psalm of Individual Confidence–In this psalm, the worshiper expresses absolute certainty that his prayers will be heard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter Summary:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>This psalm rebukes idol worshipers and those drawn after foolishness, contrasting them with the humble and sincere servant of God. \u201cYou are my Master, I have no well being without You.\u201d This provides the Tzaddik<\/em> (righteous man) with security so that he may rejoice and anticipate the World To Come.<\/span>
\n<\/span>This psalm consists of eleven verses, subdivided into three parts.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Verse 1 serves as a heading, with the request that God preserve those who put their trust in Him.<\/span>
\n<\/span>In verses 2-4, King David affirms his distancing himself from idol worship.<\/span>
\n<\/span>In verses 5-8, he thanks God for bestowing upon him a goodly portion.<\/span>
\n<\/span>In verses 9-11, he expresses the gladness in his heart and gives the reason for his joy, proclaiming that God protests the lives of His faithful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technical Terminology:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>Michtam<\/em>–an engraving, perhaps of simple fashion (Targum Yonatan); alternatively, made of fine gold (Ibn Ezra).<\/span><\/p>\n

Shimush Tehillim-When to Say:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>To catch a thief<\/span>
\n<\/span>To inspire one\u2019s heart towards God<\/span>
\n<\/span>To make peace with an enemy<\/span>
\n<\/span>To alleviate distress–Verse 6 states: \u201cThe portions that have fallen to me are in pleasant places; a beautiful inheritance is mine.\u201d The letters chet<\/em> and yud<\/em>, comprising the word chai–life, are alluded to in the first letter of the word \u201cchavalim<\/em>\u201d–\u201dportions\u201d, and the last letter of the word \u201calai<\/em>\u201d–\u201dto me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Where in the Siddur:<\/span><\/em>
\n<\/span>Recited as part of the cemetery service.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Verse 3 is found in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers), 6:10.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Verse 8 is often inscribed on or above the Aron Kodesh (Holy Ark).<\/span><\/p>\n

Biblical Place:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>Sheol<\/em>–Lower or Underworld; abode of the dead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talmud on Tehillim:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>Verse 10: \u201cFor You will not abandon my soul to the grave, nor will You allow Your devoted one to see the pit.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>The Talmud, Yoma 87a, states: \u201cWhoever causes the community to do good will not be given the opportunity to sin\u201d. God prevents the righteous from falling into Geihinom while his disciples have found their resting place in Gan Eden–the Garden of Eden. And while God does not interfere with one\u2019s free will, the goal is achieved through God\u2019s assuring that the opportunity to sin does not come their way. <\/span><\/p>\n
