King David now elects to proudly publicize his portion of choice and personal value system—with an eye towards positively inspiring others. Then he humbly pleads for continued spiritual success as he yearns for closeness to Hashem. On a deeper level, identifying the Neshamah (sacred soul) as a G-dly portion from on high, effectively empowers meticulous observance as the magnitude of our mission humbles and subdues us (verses 57-58).
