“The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.”
The affirmation that the Lord is the speaker's chosen portion and cup, holding his lot establishes God as the source of everything the speaker values and possesses. The imagery of portion and cup suggests the speaker's share in life and the experiences that constitute existence. The holding of lot suggests God's governance of the speaker's circumstances and destiny. This verse articulates the comprehensive nature of the speaker's commitment: God comprises the totality of what the speaker values.
