Psalms 16:3

As for God’s chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much ¹  –

As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.

As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight.

The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!

And these God-chosen lives all around--what splendid friends they make!

As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.

As for the holy ones in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight.

As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."

As for God’s chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much ¹  –

¹ tn Heb “regarding the holy ones who [are] in the land, they; and the mighty [ones] in [whom is/was] all my desire.” The difficult syntax makes the meaning of the verse uncertain. The phrase “holy ones” sometimes refers to God’s angelic assembly (see Ps 89:5, 7), but the qualifying clause “who are in the land” suggests that here it refers to God’s people (Ps 34:9) or to their priestly leaders (2 Chr 35:3).
