David
Psalm 16:8BSB·superscription

I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist

Christ Himself feared death in Gethsemane, yet an angel strengthened Him with the promise of resurrection and eternal joy. Then He surveyed the future with holy confidence, His eye fixed on Jehovah, sustained by divine presence, and He never wavered from finishing His work of redemption. This immovableness through simple faith is our pattern: recognize the Lord's presence always before you, trust Him as your champion, and you shall not be moved.

Geneva Bible Notes Reformed

I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (g) The faithful are sure to persevere to the end.

John Gill Reformed Baptist

Christ set before Him not merely the fear of God, but God Himself, His glory as the end of all His actions, His will as the rule, His power as His strength. At His right hand God stood ready to counsel, protect, and defend. In this nearness Christ remained unshaken through every menace of man, every temptation of Satan, and even death itself.
