Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Thou wilt show me the path of life - i:e., the path to life; Hebrew, lives. As in Psalms 16:10 his deliverance was described negatively-namely, from Hades and corruption-so here positively, life, joy, pleasures for evermore.'
In thy presence is fullness of joy - literally, joy with thy countenance х 'et (H853) paaneykaa (H6440)]; as in Psalms 21:6, "Thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance" (cf. Psalms 4:6).
At thy right hand - `through thy right hand' х biymiynªkaa (H3225)], as in Psalms 17:7; 'thou that savest by thy right hand' (Hengstenberg). So the Lord Jesus, to whom the reference is here, was "by the right hand of God exalted" (Acts 2:33). The English version accords with Psalms 110:1. So the Chaldaic, Septuagint, Vulgate, and Arabic. The right hand is the place of honour. As the Lord our Head, so the Church, the body and the queen, shall be at His right hand (Psalms 45:9; Matthew 25:33-34). As He is now 'at the saint's right hand' (Psalms 16:8), so shall the saint be "at His right hand" hereafter.
