"Therefore my heart rejoices, and my soul is glad;
even my flesh shall rest in hope." Rabbi Abbahu said, "Honor is
exiled when children make use of it." Another interpretation:
"Therefore my heart rejoices in the words of the Torah, and my honor shall
be revealed in the King Messiah who will come from me, as it is said, 'For on
every glory there shall be a covering' (Isaiah 4:5). Even my flesh shall dwell
in safety, after death." Rabbi Isaac said, "This teaches that the
worm and the maggot did not have power over King David's body." (source)
