Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for ever more. I. WHAT IS MEANT BY THE JOY AND PLEASURES AT GOD'S RIGHT HAND. 1. There are pleasures in heaven capable of giving joy and satisfaction. 2. There is a communication of these pleasures unto them who are in the immediate presence of God. 3. The saints have joy in the vision of God, the immediate fruition of Him and their likeness to Him. II. THE EXCELLENCIES OF THESE JOYS AS EXPRESSED IN THE TEXT. They are spiritual and heavenly, pure without mixture; a multitude without number; a fulness of them without want; a constancy without interruption or diminution, and a perpetuity without end. (James Robe, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. |
