Other significance:

This is for all…the lonely people….don’t give till you drink…from the SILVER CUP…and ride that highway in the sky…song of America;

Pussywillows catails…naked limbs and weepings..hazy afternoon…Poising and rejoicing THE WINE CUP to bring….song of Kenny Rankin

Jesus said “this cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you (Luke 22:20)…for as often as …you drink from this cup, you do show the Lord’s death till He come (1 Cor. 11:26)…

“and whosoever give to drink unto one of these little ones a CUP of cold water only in My name, verily …he shall not lose his reward (Matthew 10:42)…

Hadley, the significance is David’s cup is overflowing. God has prospered David with enough blessings to carry out his purpose in life. As David holds the cup, pouch or vessel, David recalls Samuel anointed him to be King after Saul. He recognizes God is preparing the way for him to be King in the presence of his enemies. David is physically, mentally, and spiritually ready to fulfill his destiny. Every believer has a cup.
