“I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”Psalm 16:8

This Psalm is a miktam of David. That does not mean he is author, but seems to mean he inspired it. It is probably written during exile, after 539 BC. According to Briggs, the author of this Psalm drew on Jeremiah 23:6, 33:16; Deuteronomy 33:12; and the Book of Ezra for phrases and concepts

"Miktam (Hebrew: מִכְתָּם) is a word of unknown meaning found in the headings to Psalms 16 and 56-60 in the Hebrew Bible. These six Psalms, and many others, are associated with David, but this tradition is more likely to be sentimental than historical. Miktam corresponds to the Babylonian nakamu, lid, metal cover for a vessel, but efforts to derive a meaning for the term in the Psalms have not been convincing.
In modern Hebrew, the word has come to mean "epigram", and numerous collections of Hebrew epigrams have used that word in their titles."
Here is a faith statement.
