Psalms 16:6. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
The Jewish rulers stretched the measuring or dividing lines over the plots of land that fell to the different members of the family; but here the man of God declares that, since God was his portion, the lines had fallen to him in pleasant places. There is no choice of places, or times, or circumstances, with the man who thoroughly loves his God. He can find God in loneliness, and so enjoy the best company, if he has God in poverty, he has great riches, O happy man, who has God to be his all!
