Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Radak
Therefore my heart is glad: – Because I have put Thee before me always my heart is glad. and my glory exulteth: – that is, the soul, which is the glory of the body; for I am confident that when it is separated from the body it will cleave to its Creator. My flesh also: – while I am still alive shall dwell in security: – for Thou shalt deliver me from all harm. And in the Haggadic interpretation (Shoher Tob and Babli, Baba Bathra 17a) (the explanation is given): “after death, when worm and corruption shall have no power over it, (shall my flesh dwell in security).”
