So good to know you're feeling better, Blondie.
I echo your sentiments: WHERE'S JESUS?
Here's Psalm 16 in its entirety from The Message Bible. One thing in particular struck me. I'ts highlighted in red.
Psalm 16
A David Song
1 -2 Keep me safe, O God, I've run for dear life to you.
I say to
Without you, nothing makes sense.
3 And these God-chosen lives all around—
what splendid friends they make!
4 Don't just go shopping for a god.
Gods are not for sale.
I swear I'll never treat god-names
like brand-names.
5 -6 My choice is you,
And now I find I'm your choice!
You set me up with a house and yard.
And then you made me your heir!
7 -8 The wise counsel
is confirmed by my sleeping heart.
Day and night I'll stick with
I've got a good thing going and I'm not letting go.
9 -10 I'm happy from the inside out,
and from the outside in, I'm firmly formed.
You canceled my ticket to hell—
that's not my destination!
11 Now you've got my feet on the life path,
all radiant from the shining of your face.
Ever since you took my hand,
I'm on the right way.
The Apostle Peter applied this Psalm to Jesus in his address to the Jewish hierarchy as described in Acts chapter 2.
