Psalms 47:4

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob, whom he loved - i:e., He shall choose it anew for us, by recovering it from the usurping enemy (2 Chronicles 20:11). Compare on the "inheritance," Isaiah 58:14; Deuteronomy 4:38. "The excellency of Jacob" is explanatory of "our inheritance;" 'a land which God had espied for them,' flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands (Ezekiel 20:6), the possession of which Israel might well be proud, on account of the grace shown by God in giving it (Nahum 2:2; Amos 6:8). "Whom he loved" implies that God's everlasting LOVE is the ground of HIS choosing their inheritance for them (Psalms 78:68; Malachi 1:2).
