Thou furnishest me with plenty and variety of provisions and comforts, mine enemies seeing, and envying, and fretting at it, but not being able to hinder it. With oil; or, ointment, as the Syriac and Arabic interpreters render it; with aromatical ointments, which were then used at great feasts, Psalms 92:10 Amos 6:6 Matthew 6:17 Luke 7:38. The sense is, Thy comforts delight my soul: compare Psalms 45:7. My cup runneth over; thou hast given me a very plentiful portion, signified by the cup given to the guests by the master of the feast.
