Can I just say that the Psalmist says something quite profound? While addressing God, he says, “My happiness and well-being are not valued more highly than you are.” Valuing someone more than your own happiness… and this being his inheritance, his fate, and blessing. One that he is very delighted with. Isn’t that a profound way to state how he loves God with his entire being?   Well, tell you what, let’s first hear the psalm. Then we’ll chat about this.   

Also, before beginning, I am proud to say that this podcast is now sponsored by our book, Psalms 1-72, A Simple Not Shallow Presentation. This book is a collection of the Psalms, as heard on the Psalm Tuesday episodes. In this book, God’s word is presented in a manner that helps reveal the prayerfulness of the poetry of the Psalms, allowing you a deeper connection, a deeper relationship with him. That is exciting! I’ve provided a couple of links in the show notes for this episode. One to my website where you can learn more about this book and another to where it is located on Barnes and Noble.com, and one more, to its location on Amazon.com, just for your convenience. So, go ahead and collect your copy today. 

But, for now, my name is Charles, Charles Yerkes, and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This podcast is for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is a series in which we will listen to a psalm being read in a manner that honors their original use as part of a worship service. Here in episode #44, we are listening to Psalm 16. 

So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started.
