I cried unto you, O LORD: I said, you are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
All Commentaries on Psalms 142:5 Go To Psalms 142
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
6. "Unto thee have I cried, O Lord: I have said, Thou art my hope" (ver. 5). When I endured, when I was in tribulation, "I said, Thou art my hope." My hope here, therefore I endure. But "my portion," not here, but "in the land of the living." God giveth a portion in the land of the living; but not something from Himself without Himself. What will He give to one that loveth Him, save Himself?
