In David's day the Promised Land had already been divided up for many generations. But there were still obstacles to some people to fully possess their inheritance. But David did not have that problem. Jesse had possession of land passed to him from Obed, who had received land from Boaz. It must have been on some of this land that David grazed the flocks. The only thing better than any inheritance would be a plot of ground that was filled with beauty. When David surveyed the land he hoped for it was that better inheritance(verse 6). But was it about the land that was so favorable? Quite possibly the fact that God was a part of his inheritance. That is the same promise that all Christians posess in our inheritance.
It took me about 2 minutes to read this psalm.
