Chapter 16

I have a note saying that this Psalm is Jesus speaking of his time on earth, as a man.  This verse:

2 I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you." [Psa 16:2 ESV]

We don't think about this very much, but Jesus repeats the thought many times in the NT.  "There is none good but one" comes to mind.  If Jesus himself says that nothing he does is counted as good if it is done without acknowledgement of God, then how much less the things we do. 

2023 - This verse:

5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. [Psa 16:5 ESV].  Here is a reference to the Lord as both "bread" and "wine".  Eating and drinking, as in the Lord's supper, but in the OT, there was no drinking blood.  Vs 4 said "their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out".  I don't know what this all means, but it seems to be relevant to the whole "this is my blood", and you should drink it at the last supper.  Such a huge change.  Why does no one talk about it???

2023 - The idea of this being Jesus talking is in vs 10:

10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. [Psa 16:10 ESV].  This is quoted in the NT as a reference to Christ, and it says "my soul", therefore Christ is speaking this Psalm...or it is a prophecy of Christ.  So it is Jesus here also saying that the Lord is his portion and cup.  In the OT, the LORD in all caps is Yehova.  God is the portion and the cup.
