From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

But it is good for me to draw near to God -That is, It is pleasant; it is profitable; it is the chief good. For myself, happiness is to be found in that alone; there I find what my nature pants for and desires. Others find, or attempt to find, happiness in other things; my happiness is found in God alone. This is the result to which the psalmist came after all his perplexity. With all his doubts and difficulties, his real desire was to be near to God; his supreme happiness was found there. I have put my trust in the Lord God -I have truly confided in him; he is my portion and the sole ground of my reliance.
