Psalms 16:9 - Exposition

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth . The thought of God's continual presence at his right hand causes David's "heart" to be "glad," and his "glory"— i.e. his soul, or spirit ( Genesis 49:6 ), man's true glory—to rejoice. My flesh also shall rest in hope . His "flesh"—his corporeal nature, united closely with his "heart" and "spirit"—rests, and will rest, secure, confident that God will watch over it, and make the whole complex man—body, soul, and spirit—to "dwell in safety" ( Psalms 4:8 ).
