The reading changes at midnight Central Time, and it stays the same all day.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalm 16:11King James Version

Plain English

David says, "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy." Thou and thy mean you and your, shew means show, and fulness means fullness. God shows the path of life. Full joy is found in His presence, and at His right hand are pleasures forever, so nearness to Him is the glad part.

Devotional

You walk a short path across the yard to a friend's door, and the gladness starts before you step inside, just because the person is there. Being with them is the good part. David says fullness of joy is in God's presence. The path of life leads toward Him, and the pleasures at His right hand do not run out.
