On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Rescue my soul from the destructions they are plotting against it; rescue my darling, my only one, from the lions. My soul is my only one, and therefore the greater is the shame if I neglect it and the greater the loss if I lose it: it is my only one, and therefore ought to be my darling, ought to be carefully protected and provided for.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Look on - Without affording me pity or help. Darling - My soul, Hebrew. my only one; which is now left alone and forsaken by my friends, and hath none to trust in but God.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
