PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 16:11 path of life. The covenant provides a “path” by which one walks toward life in all its fullness (Proverbs 6:23; Proverbs 10:17; Matthew 7:14). This is what the Lord makes known to his followers. To enjoy God’s presence is the goal of the covenant (compare Exodus 33:14; Numbers 6:24). The word pleasures is related to “pleasant places” (Psalms 16:6). The pleasure that the psalmist has begun in this life will reach its fullness in the world to come (forevermore).
