Of course, as we will see, though that is the promise with which this psalm ends, it is far from the only lesson that the King teaches us in this beautiful song of his. The King confesses where his delight is: in his church family, the saints in the land. He speaks of Yahweh as his inheritance, and he speaks of settling down in safety because God will show the path of life. As one of the commentators pointed out, in every line this psalm proclaims the sufficiency of Yahweh. He is enough, for He is our inheritance and He will overcome death.
