Raised from the dead, he shall die no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Thou wilt show me--guide me to attain. the path of life--or, "lives"--the plural denoting variety and abundance--immortal blessedness of every sort--as "life" often denotes. in thy presence--or, "before Thy faces." The frequent use of this plural form for "faces" may contain an allusion to the Trinity (Num 6:25-26; Psa 17:15; Psa 31:16). at thy right hand--to which Christ was exalted (Psa 110:1; Act 2:33; Col 3:1; Heb 1:3). In the glories of this state, He shall see of the travail (Isa 53:10-11; Phi 2:9) of His soul, and be satisfied. Next: Psalms Chapter 17
