Psalm 16:8
I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
A fully armed warrior would hold his weapon in his right hand and his shield in his left. The person to the right of a king would have the privilege of defending him. For a king to put someone there would be an affirmation of trust, and therefore an honor. In contrast, when the Lord takes up his position at someone’s right hand, as here, he is in a position to offer defense with his shield (Psalm 109:31).
