Psalms 16:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 16:4
The sorrows of idolaters 'multiply'—the Hebrew 'rabah' suggests exponential increase. David refuses participation in their worship: no drink offerings of blood, no taking idol names on his lips. This anticipates Paul's instruction to flee idolatry (1 Corinthians 10:14). Reformed theology sees idolatry as the fundamental sin—replacing the Creator with creation—and warns that it enslaves rather than liberates.
