Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Another transition. The danger of death is past. David reverts to the thought of the tranquil, happy, joyous time which God has vouchsafed to grant him. He has "adversaries," indeed, but they are powerless to effect anything against hint They have to look on with ill-concealed annoyance at his prosperity, to see his table amply spread; his condition such as men generally envy; his wealth typified by abundant oil - thou anointest (or, makest fat, marginal rendering) my head with oil - great, his whole life full to overflowing with blessedness. My cup runneth over, he declares - is not only full to the brim, but runs over the brim - an expressive metaphor, indicative of a state of bliss rarely experienced in this life.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Such a sudden transition from the figure of the flock to that of a banquet is characteristic of Hebrew poetry.Preparest--i.e., spreadest or furnishest, the usual phrase (Proverbs 9:2; Isaiah 21:5). (For the same figure of the hospitable host applied to God, see Job 36:16; Isaiah 25:6; and the well-known parables in the New Testament.)In the presence of mine enemies.--We must imagine the banquet spread on some secure mountain height, in sight of the baffled foe, who look on in harmless spite.My cup runneth over.--Literally, My cup is abundant drink. Cup, in the sense of portion, has already occurred (Psalm 11:6; Psalm 16:5). The LXX. has, "Thine intoxicating cup, how excellent it is;" Vulg. the same, but with "my" instead of "thy." . . .
