Psalms 16:4 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

It is easy to perceive to what those expressions have reference. No sacrifices could atone for sin, neither satisfy the guilty conscience. If the sacrifices under the law were offered by Israel, with an eye of faith to Jesus, then they were sweetly satisfying and consolatory. But, void of this, it was not possible that the blood of bulls, and of goats, should take away sin. Hebrews 10:4. It is remarkable, and very conclusive on this subject, that Christ never, in all his ministry, spake of the law sacrifices but with an eye to the sacrifice of himself. Matthew 20:28.

Psalms 16:4

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hastena after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
