14.10. Ps 23:5-6


Ps 23:5-6  Sinä valmistat minulle pöydän minun vihollisteni silmien eteen. Sinä voitelet minun pääni öljyllä; minun maljani on ylitsevuotavainen. Sula hyvyys ja laupeus seuraavat minua kaiken elinaikani; ja minä saan asua Herran huoneessa päivieni loppuun asti.

Psalm 23:5-6Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with [a]oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.

Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.

Footnotes:

Psalm 23:5 It is difficult for those living in a temperate climate to appreciate, but it was customary in hot climates to anoint the body with oil to protect it from excessive perspiration. When mixed with perfume, the oil imparted a delightfully refreshing and invigorating sensation. Athletes anointed their bodies as a matter of course before running a race. As the body, therefore, anointed with oil was refreshed, invigorated, and better fitted for action, so the Lord would anoint His “sheep” with the Holy Spirit, Whom oil symbolizes, to fit them to engage more freely in His service and run in the way He directs—in heavenly fellowship with Him.
