Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
Psalm 1
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
Psalm 37:7
The True and Only Good
The True and Only Good
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”
Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
Commentary on the Book of Psalms Psalm 16
Two things are distinctly laid down in this verse. The first is, that God has a right to require of us whatever he pleases, seeing we are wholly bound to Him as our rightful proprietor and Lord
1. God is my Sovereign.
2. God is my Provider.
a. God is in need of nothing from me—aseity.
b. God provides everything good for me—.
c. If I am to give anything good to God, he must first bless me with what I am to return to me.
d. Nothing in my life can be truly good unless it is from, by, and to God.

The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for “ ‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, “ ‘For we are indeed his offspring.’

Psalms 1–72: Old Testament, Volume 7 16:1–4 Worship the True God
when we come before God, we must lay aside all presumption. For if we imagine that anything belongs to us, because we diminish the principal part of honor which he deserves, it is no surprise if he rejects us. If, however, we acknowledge that our obedience in itself is nothing and is not worthy of any reward, this humility goes up like a sweet fragrance, which will procure for us acceptance with God.
