Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 16:5-7

_ _ God is the chief good, and supplies all need (Deuteronomy 10:9).

_ _ portion of mine inheritance and of my cup — may contain an allusion to the daily supply of food, and also to the inheritance of Levi (Deuteronomy 18:1, Deuteronomy 18:2).

_ _ maintainest — or, drawest out my lot — enlargest it. Psalms 16:7 carries out this idea more fully.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 16:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 16:5

The Lord — I rejoice in God as my portion, and desire no better, no other felicity. Cup — The portion which is put into my cup, as the ancient manner was in feasts, where each had his portion of meat, and of wine allotted to him. Lot — My inheritance divided to me by lot, as the custom then was.
