Psalms 142:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

I cried, rather I cry, unto thee, O Lord Thou knowest me and carest for me, when no one else will, and wilt not fail me nor forsake me when men do. Thou art my refuge and my portion Thou only art both my refuge to defend me from all evil, and my portion to supply me with all the good which I need and desire; in the land of the living Even in this life, wherein I doubt not to see thy goodness, and more especially in the life to come. There is enough in God to answer all the necessities of this present time; we live in a world of dangers and wants, but what danger need we fear, if God is our refuge; and what wants, if he be our portion? Heaven, which alone deserves to be called the land of the living, will be to all believers both a refuge and a portion.
