Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 63:8

8 My soul followeth hard after thee : thy right hand upholdeth me .

(i. e.) Pursueth thee Eagerly and Diligently, and Resolvedly, and as it were step by step, when thou seemest to run away from me: Which is the Emphasis of this Hebrew word. My Soul and Spirit cleaveth to thee, as this Verb signifies, Gen. 2. 24. [illegible: 1 word]. 1[illegible: 1+ letters]. 11. when my Body is absent from thy Sanctuary.

I do not lose my [illegible: 1+ letters]abour in following hard after thee; for though I am not yet restored to the Enjoyment of thy Presence in thy House, yet I have present supports from thee, whereby my Spirit is kept from sainting under my m[illegible: 1+ letters]nifold Pressures, and is enabled with Faith and Patience to wait upon thee, till thou seest fit to deliver me.
