The psalmist pronounces a beatitude on the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom God has chosen as his inheritance. The formula "Blessed is the nation" introduces the beatitude that frames the central claim: blessing accrues to those who acknowledge God as their sovereign. The phrase "his inheritance" suggests the reciprocal relationship: as Israel is God's inheritance, God is Israel's God. The reference to choice emphasizes that this relationship is based on divine election and human acceptance. The verse shifts perspective to the national and communal level.
