Verse 1 is found in chapter 16 of Psalms. Psalm 16 is a confession of trust in which God appears as supreme good, inheritance, and protection. The rejection of other gods is not merely a doctrinal affirmation, but a declaration of exclusive dependence upon the Lord. The image of portion and inheritance makes communion with God the psalmist’s true possession. The conclusion celebrates the security that God shows the path of life and allows one to experience fullness in his presence.
