Bible Comments

Right hand; the place where the patron or assistant used to stand. See Psalms 16:8, Psalms 109:31 121:5. No man, to wit, in Saul's court or camp; none of my former acquaintance, and friends. and relations. Know me; own me, or show any respect or kindness to me. For my soul; or, for my life, to wit, to preserve it; but they all conspired to take it away; which is here implied.

Psalms 142:4

4 I lookeda on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
