Prophecies

context
In Psalm 16, David asks the Lord for protection, trusting in God as a safe place from enemies and evil. He confesses that apart from the Lord he has nothing good. This psalm exudes David’s joy, using words such as “delight,” “pleasant,” “glad,” “rejoices,” “joy,” and “pleasures.” David celebrates his relationship with God.
