Contextual Overview

21 Whyle I consider these thinges in my heart, I get a hope agayne. 22 [Namely] it is of the Lordes mercies that we are not vtterly consumed, for truely his pitifull compassion hath not ceassed. 23 Newe mercyes shall the Lord shewe vpon thee early in the day springing, (O Lorde) great is thy faythfulnesse. 24 The Lorde is my portion saith my soule therefore wyll I hope in hym. 25 O howe good is the Lord vnto them that put their trust in hym, and to the soule that seeketh after hym. 26 The good man with stilnesse and pacience, taryeth for the health of the Lorde. 27 O howe good is it for a man to take the yoke vpon him from his youth vp? 28 He sitteth alone, he holdeth hym styll, because he hath taken [the Lordes yoke] vpon hym. 29 He layeth his face vpon the earth, if there happen to be any hope. 30 He offreth his cheeke to the smyter, he wyll be content with reproffes:

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 - “My portion is Yahweh,” see Numbers 18:20; Psalms 16:5 ff.

Therefore will I hope in him - A more full expression of the confidence present in the prophet’s mind in Lamentations 3:21, but based now upon God’s faithfulness in showing mercy.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 24. The Lord is my portionPsalms 119:57.
