The Path of Life: Infinitives, Construct Chains, and Eternal Joy in Psalm 16:11
תֹּֽודִיעֵנִי֮ אֹ֤רַח חַ֫יִּ֥ים שֹׂ֣בַע שְׂ֭מָחֹות אֶת־פָּנֶ֑יךָ נְעִמֹ֖ות בִּימִינְךָ֣ נֶֽצַח׃
Contextual Introduction
Psalm 16:11 concludes a deeply personal declaration of trust in YHWH. The psalmist expresses joy, security, and the assurance of eternal fellowship with the divine presence. This final verse combines prayer, affirmation, and poetic imagery into one syntactically dense expression of life beyond death. The grammatical structures—second person verb forms, construct phrases, and descriptive appositives—convey theological richness and eschatological hope.
