Psalms 16:6

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

The lines {H2256} are fallen {H5307} unto me in pleasant {H5273} places; yea, I have a goodly {H8231} heritage {H5159}.

Pleasant places were measured out for me; I am content with my heritage.

The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.
