Contextual Overview
21 This, will I bring back to my heart, therefore, will I hope. 22 The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, verily they are not exhausted, Verily! not at an end, are his compassions: 23 New things for the mornings! Abundant is thy faithfulness: 24 My portion, is Yahweh, saith my soul, For this cause, will I wait for him. 25 Good is Yahweh, to them who wait for him, to the soul that will seek him; 26 Good it is - both to wait and to be silent, for the deliverance of Yahweh; 27 Good it is for a man, that he should bear the yoke in his youth. 28 Let him sit alone, and keep silence, because he took it upon himself: 29 Let him put, in the dust, his mouth, peradventure, there is hope! 30 Let him give, to him that smiteth him, his cheek, let him be sated with reproach.

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.
