What a beautiful contrast is drawn here between men of the world and the followers of the Lord! The former have their portion in this life. It is all they wish; all they covet; all they can enjoy. From such, the latter saith, the good Lord keep me. But let Jesus and his covenant blessings be mine; and thus, enjoying by faith the sweetness of his love here, by and by I shall arise up to the full and everlasting enjoyment of him and his salvation to all eternity.

14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
