Best Answer

This was written by King David before he himself died [obviously!]

The verses Psalm ch16 vs9 & 10 are:-

Psalms 16

9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.

10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

The single word "sheol" (in the phrase "abandon my soul to Sheol") refers to 3 separate locations:-

-the grave

-Abode of the wicked

-Abode of the good

David is thanking God in advance that he himself is not going to the "Abode of the wicked" and this Psalm is dual: David was writing both about himself but it is also prophetic of Jesus Christ's destination after death. This Psalm was written by King David before he himself died [obviously!] , and as he died in in 970BC [Ussher], it had to be written no more than a couple of years before that.
