Psalms 16:6

Context

16:6 It is as if I have been given fertile fields

or received a beautiful tract of land. 1 

Psalms 96:12

Context

96:12 Let the fields and everything in them celebrate!

Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy

1 tn Heb “measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant [places]; yes, property [or “an inheritance”] is beautiful for me.” On the dative use of עַל, see BDB 758 s.v. II.8. Extending the metaphor used in v. 5, the psalmist compares the divine blessings he has received to a rich, beautiful tract of land that one might receive by allotment or inheritance.
