Verse 2 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 image of portion and inheritance makes communion with God the psalmist’s true possession.

Ich habe gesagt zu dem HERRN: Du bist ja der HERR; ich weiß von keinem Gute außer dir.
Dijiste, oh alma mía, a Jehová: Tú eres el Señor: Mi bien a ti no aprovecha;

Je dis à l'Eternel: Tu es mon Seigneur, Tu es mon souverain bien!
Io ho detto all’Eterno: Tu sei il mio Signore; Io non ho bene all’infuori di te.
A minha alma disse ao SENHOR: Tu és o meu Senhor, a minha bondade não chega à tua presença,
我 曾對耶和華說:「你是我的主, 我的福氣惟獨從你而來。」
