I will give you the land of Canaan
I will give
The phrase "I will give" reflects a divine promise and assurance from God. In the Hebrew text, the verb used here is "נָתַן" (natan), which means to give, bestow, or grant. This word is often used in the context of God's covenants and promises, emphasizing His sovereignty and faithfulness. The act of giving is not merely a transaction but a fulfillment of God's covenantal relationship with His people. It underscores the grace and generosity of God, who provides for His people not based on their merit but on His steadfast love and faithfulness.

you
The pronoun "you" is directed towards the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the patriarchs of Israel. It signifies a personal and communal promise, highlighting the intimate relationship between God and His chosen people. This promise is not just for an individual but for the entire nation of Israel, emphasizing the collective identity and destiny of God's people. It serves as a reminder of the personal nature of God's promises, which are meant to be experienced and cherished by the community of believers.

the land of Canaan
The "land of Canaan" refers to the geographical region that God promised to the descendants of Abraham. Historically and archaeologically, Canaan was a land of great significance, known for its fertility and strategic location. It was a land inhabited by various Canaanite tribes, and its possession was central to the identity and mission of Israel as God's people. Theologically, Canaan represents not just a physical territory but a place of divine blessing and fulfillment of God's promises. It symbolizes the inheritance and rest that God provides for His people, pointing forward to the ultimate rest and inheritance found in Christ. The promise of Canaan is a testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His word and His desire to establish His people in a place of abundance and blessing.

(11) This verse marks the scope of the psalm, to show how the promise made to Abraham was fulfilled.

Verse 11. - Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan (see Genesis 13:15; Genesis 17:8; Genesis 26:3; Genesis 28:13). The lot of your inheritance; literally, the cord, or line, of your inheritance (comp. Psalm 78:55). The words are not found among the promises made to the patriarchs, but are perhaps regarded by the writer as implied in them. When the allotment of Canaan to the several tribes was made, recourse was doubtless had to the measuring line.
