Gill's Notes on the Bible
The Lord [is] my portion, saith my soul,.... The prophet, or the church, whom he represents, rises and increases in the exercise of faith; from considering the mercies, compassions, and faithfulness of God, concludes a sure and firm interest in him, as a portion and inheritance. The Lord is the portion of his people in life and in death, in time and to eternity; all he is, and has, is theirs; they are heirs of him, and shall enjoy him for ever, and therefore shall not be consumed; he is a portion large and full, inexpressibly rich and great, a soul satisfying one, and will last for ever. And happy are those, who from their hearts, and with their souls, under a testimony of the Spirit of God to their spirits, and through a gracious experience of him, can say he is their portion and exceeding great reward, as the church here did; and these may say with her, as follows:
therefore will I hope in him: for deliverance from all evils and enemies; for present supplies of grace; and for the enjoyment of future glory and happiness.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The Lord is my portion - âMy portion is Yahweh,â see Numbers 18:20; Psalms 16:5 ff.
Therefore will I hope in him - A more full expression of the confidence present in the prophetâs mind in Lamentations 3:21, but based now upon Godâs faithfulness in showing mercy.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 24. The Lord is my portion — Psalms 119:57.
