Psalm 16, together with Psalm 15, sets forth the character of those who will possess the character of Christ and represent it in the world. That character is not merely admired but is to be possessed and manifested by His followers. It is marked by faith in Jesus Christ as the foundation of the life. It is marked also by trust in the promises of God and by diligent obedience to the commandments of God.
