Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 16:10

_ _ soul — or, “self.” This use of “soul” for the person is frequent (Genesis 12:5; Genesis 46:26; Psalms 3:2; Psalms 7:2; Psalms 11:1), even when the body may be the part chiefly affected, as in Psalms 35:13; Psalms 105:18. Some cases are cited, as Leviticus 22:4; Numbers 6:6; Numbers 9:6, Numbers 9:10; Numbers 19:13; Haggai 2:13, etc., which seem to justify assigning the meaning of body, or dead body; but it will be found that the latter sense is given by some adjunct expressed or implied. In those cases person is the proper sense.

_ _ wilt not leave ... hell — abandon to the power of (Job 39:14; Psalms 49:10). Hell as (Genesis 42:38; Psalms 6:5; Jonah 2:2) the state or region of death, and so frequently — or the grave itself (Job 14:13; Job 17:13; Ecclesiastes 9:10, etc.). So the Greek Hades (compare Acts 2:27, Acts 2:31). The context alone can settle whether the state mentioned is one of suffering and place of the damned (compare Psalms 9:17; Proverbs 5:5; Proverbs 7:27).

_ _ wilt ... suffer — literally, “give” or “appoint.”

_ _ Holy One — (Psalms 4:3), one who is the object of God’s favor, and so a recipient of divine grace which he exhibits — pious.

_ _ to see — or, “experience” — undergo (Luke 2:26).

_ _ corruption — Some render the word, the pit, which is possible, but for the obvious sense which the apostle’s exposition (Acts 2:27; Acts 13:36, Acts 13:37) gives. The sense of the whole passage is clearly this: by the use of flesh and soul, the disembodied state produced by death is indicated; but, on the other hand, no more than the state of death is intended; for the last clause of Psalms 16:10 is strictly parallel with the first, and Holy One corresponds to soul, and corruption to hell. As Holy One, or David (Acts 13:36, Acts 13:37), which denotes the person, including soul and body, is used for body, of which only corruption can be predicated (compare Acts 2:31); so, on the contrary, soul, which literally means the immaterial part, is used for the person. The language may be thus paraphrased, “In death I shall hope for resurrection; for I shall not be left under its dominion and within its bounds, or be subject to the corruption which ordinarily ensues.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 16:10

Hell — In the state of the dead. Holy one — Me thy holy son, whom thou hast sanctified and sent into the world. It is peculiar to Christ, to be called the holy one of God. To see — To be corrupted or putrefied in the grave, as the bodies of others are.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 16:10

For thou (i) wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

(i) This is chiefly meant by Christ, by whose resurrection all his members have immortality.

hell:
The word hell, from the Saxon hillan or helan, to hide, or from holl, a cavern, though now used only for the place of torment, anciently denoted the concealed or unseen place of the dead in general; corresponding to the Greek αδηϚ, i.e., ο αιδηϚ τοπος, the invisible place and the Hebrew sheol, from shaal, to ask, seek, the place and state of those who are out of the way, and to be sought for.
