5 Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
The Lord is my inheritance and my guide; because He is always before me, I shall not be shaken.
To express profound contentment in God as the believer’s total inheritance and to describe the stability that comes from constant divine counsel and presence.
