Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 73:24

24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel , and afterward receive me to glory .

As thou hast kept me hitherto in all my Tryals, so I am assured thou wilt'st lead me still into right Paths, and keep me from wandring or straying from thee, or falling into Mischief.

This future Glory is that Mystery which was to be learned onely in Gods Sanctuary, v. 17. 4. As the destruction of the wicked mentioned. v. 18, 19, 20. looks beyond this Life, so doth the Glory of God's People.
