Psa 16:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : David says his goodness is not for God, who is already perfect, but for God’s people: My goodness extends not to You; but to the saints who are on the earth (Psalm 16:2, 3 ). We cannot add anything to God’s greatness, but we can do good to His people. The saints on earth are precious and excellent because God has made them so. If God is ours, we should care for other believers and show kindness to them. David, even as a king, was a friend to all who feared God (Psalm 119:63 ). Our love for God should lead to love and help for His people. Christ also delighted in the saints, even with their weaknesses (John 17:19 ).

‏ Psalms 16:3

v. 3: David says his goodness is not for God, who is already perfect, but for God’s people: My goodness extends not to You; but to the saints who are on the earth (Psalm 16:2, 3 ^a). We cannot add anything to God’s greatness, but we can do good to His people. The saints on earth are precious and excellent because God has made them so. If God is ours, we should care for other believers and show kindness to them. David, even as a king, was a friend to all who feared God (Psalm 119:63 ^b). Our love for God should lead to love and help for His people. Christ also delighted in the saints, even with their weaknesses (John 17:19 ^c).
