Chapter summary

David begins by asking God for preservation while taking refuge in Him and declaring that he has no good thing apart from the Lord. He expresses delight in the saints within the land and notes that sorrows multiply for those who chase other gods, refusing to offer their blood libations or speak their names. Identifying the Lord as his chosen portion, cup, and secure lot, David states that his boundary lines have fallen in pleasant places with a delightful inheritance. He blesses the Lord for counsel, notes that his inner mind instructs him at night, and resolves to keep the Lord always at his right hand to avoid being shaken. Consequently, his heart is glad, his tongue rejoices, and his body dwells securely because God will not abandon his soul to Sheol or let His Holy One see decay. Finally, David acknowledges that God has made known the path of life and will fill him with joy in His presence and eternal pleasures at His right hand.
