16:5-6 Contentment with My Chosen Portion. The psalm now describes the psalmist's satisfaction with the Lord and his provision. The terms portion, lot, lines, and inheritance evoke the allocation of the land into family plots (perhaps with an allusion to the Lord as the Levites' portion and inheritance; Num. 18:20); the song promotes contentment with the arrangements of one's life, seeing them as providentially ordered.
