Quick answer

God guides him by his counsel now and will afterward receive him to glory.

Overview

Asaph trusts God for present guidance and a glorious future welcome. This hope reaches beyond earthly life toward being received into glory with God. It is among the Old Testament's clearest hints of life beyond death, a hope fulfilled and made sure in Christ, who brings many sons to glory (Hebrews 2:10).

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
