Psalm 142:4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. : — "Two things a master commits to his servant's care," saith one, "the child and the child's clothes." It will be but a poor excuse for the servant to say at his master's return, "Sir, here are all the child's clothes neat and clean, but the child is lost!" Much so will be the account that many will give to God of their souls and bodies at the great day. "Lord, here is my body; I was very careful for it. I neglected nothing that belonged to its content and welfare; but for my soul, that is lost and cast away for ever. I took little thought and care about it." ( J. Flavel.) Parallel Verses KJV: I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. |
