Psa 16:11 | NET2full | STEP | You lead me in the path of life . I experience absolute joy in your presence ; you always give me sheer delight .

‏ Psalms 16:11

11 You lead me in ^{▼▼tn Heb “cause me to know”; or “cause me to experience.”} the path of life. ^{▼▼tn This is a metaphorical way of saying, “you preserve my life.” The phrase “path of life” stands in contrast to death/Sheol in Prov 2:18-19; 5:5-6; 15:24.}
I experience absolute joy in your presence; ^{▼▼tn Heb “abundance of joy [is] with your face.” The plural form of the noun שִׂמְחָה (simkhah, “joy”) occurs only here and in Ps 45:15. It may emphasize the degree of joy experienced.}
you always give me sheer delight. ^{▼▼tn Heb “delight [is] in your right hand forever.” The plural form of the adjective נָעִים (naʿim, “pleasant, delightful”) may here emphasize the degree of delight experienced (see Job 36:11).}
