Psalms 16:2

16:2 I say to the Lord, “You are the Lord,

my only source of well-being.”

Psalms 105:19

105:19 until the time when his prediction came true.

The Lord’s word proved him right.


tn Heb “my good [is] not beyond you.” For the use of the preposition עַל (’al) in the sense of “beyond,” see BDB 755 s.v. 2.

tn Heb “word,” probably referring to Joseph’s prediction about the fate of Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker (see Gen 41:9-14).

tn This line may refer to Joseph’s prediction of the famine in response to Pharaoh’s dream. Joseph emphasized to Pharaoh that the interpretation of the dream came from God (see Gen 41:16, 25, 28, 32, 39).

tn Heb “refined him.”
