This is taught in the words, “Thou anointest my head with oil.” The
words refer to the custom of anointing the weary man with ointment or
oil. It was poured sometimes on the feet and sometimes on the head. The
object in both cases was the same, namely, refreshment; and surely we
must thankfully acknowledge that our Heavenly Father does not merely give
us the bare necessities of existence, but softens, refreshes, and cheers
the spirit. He prepares not the table only, but the joy. “He giveth us
richly all things to enjoy.” {93a}
