11 ‎[1] **Thou wilt shew me the path of life: In Thy presence is fulness of joy: At Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore:** – (To be understood) as a prayer that God may teach him the way by which he may attain to the life of the world to come; meaning, that He will make him understand and discern the way in which the soul shall live when it is separated from the body and attain to fulness of joy in Thy presence and to pleasures at Thy right hand; for those joys and pleasures will be for evermore, for all eternity, and to them there shall be no end; and this is the soul's delight. The reason (for using the expressions) in Thy presence and at Thy right hand is: that the "presence" and "the right hand" are the Glory, as, "the upright shall dwell in Thy presence" (Ps. 140:14); and so it is written of the right hand (ibid. ex. 1): "Sit thou at My right hand."
Version: R. David Kimhi on the first book of Psalms, Translated by R.G. Finch, London, 1919
