In this verse, David mentioned a table, alluding to the prosperity that God will grant His children when they choose to trust Him. As the table is spread with many varieties, he described that even his enemies will look on in envy when they witness God’s goodness in his life. In highlighting that his cup will not just be filled but running over, shows the abundant blessings of God’s favour in his life. In this verse, the use of oil as an anointing is used by the Psalmist to explain to us that the Holy Spirit will be sent by God to protect and preserve us. Oil is also used in scripture as a panacea of healing as recorded in Mark 6:13 which states “they drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.”
