Comentário sobre Salmos 16:6

Portions have fallen to me in pleasant places When the lot fell to me to be in Your portion, it is a pleasant portion. Also, such an inheritance is pleasing to me.

The lines have fallen for me in pleasant (places): – The inheritances which have fallen to me have fallen for me in pleasant places, and in the possession of good and right knowledge.

Yea, I have a goodly heritage: – The tav (of נחלת, heritage) is in the place of he, and is not a sign of the construct; and similarly we find " My strength and song (זמרת) is Jah " (Exod. 15:2; Is. 12:2; Ps. 118:14); "Give us help (עזרת) against the adversary" (ibid. 60:13); "How is the city of praise (תהלת) not forsaken ?" (Jer. 49:25), and such like. And the reason (for the use of) Yea is: because the way of the men of the world when they divide anything among themselves is for everyone to covet the portion of his fellow, and for it to seem in his eyes as though his fellow's portion is better than his own. But it is not so with me, Yea for mine is a goodly heritage and portion, and I am not envious of another's, for mine is the good portion.
