Verse 8. Leave not my soul destitute. The literal Hebrew is, Pour not out my soul, but keep it in thy cup of salvation. --Agellius. Compare Isa 53:12: "He hath poured out his soul unto death."]
Verse 8. Leave not my soul destitute, or, "Cast not out my soul." That is, cast not my life away, as water, which is of no account, is cast out of a vessel containing it. -- Daniel Cresswell.
Verse 8. Leave not my soul destitute. His soul knew what it was to be "destitute"; he had known the misery of spiritual beggary and soul poverty. It was not with him as natural poverty is with the rich, a matter of speculation, a mere matter of theory; but a matter of personal and painful experience ... It is in the margin "Make not my soul bare", Strip me not of every hope; leave me not completely naked; abandon me not to nature's beggary and misery; let me not go down into the pit with all my sins upon my head; leave not my soul destitute of pardon and peace. --Joseph C. Philpot.
Verse 8-10. --
Behold them hid, the godless crew, Low in the toils they darkly drew: The while, with gathering heart and watchful eye I wait mine hour to pass victorious by. --John Keble.
