Psalms 16:2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
Ver. 2. O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord] Or, I have said unto the Lord; and so I had rather read it, with Jerome and the Septuagint; because the letter Jod may be wanting in Amarti. See the like, Job 42:2 Ezekiel 16:59. David was here extra se abreptus, carried beyond himself, and so might easily speak short, and say Amart for Amarti; like as Moses, in a passion, said to God, At for Atta, Numbers 11:15, as not able to speak out. Amor Dei est ecstaticus, &c.
Thou art my Lord] Heb. Thou my Lord, so the next words, My good not unto thee; all concise and abrupt, out of deepest affection; broken language from a broken spirit, spending and exhaling itself into God's blessed bosom.
My goodness extendeth not to thee] But if it did I could with all my heart beteem it thee; even the very best of my best; but what can I give thee save only τα σο εκ των σων, since all is thine own? 1 Chronicles 29:14; 1Ch 29:16 Psalms 24:1; thou needest no sacrifices, Psalms 50:8, neither art thou delighted therein, Psa 51:18 Isaiah 1:11. All that thou requirest is mercy, Hosea 6:5 Mic 6:8 Matthew 12:7. Therefore I will seek out those thy receivers, the saints, that are in the earth, &c.
