Wesley's Notes for Psalms 142:3

142:3 Knowest - So as to direct me to it. My path - What paths I should chuse whereby I might escape.

142:3 For - This is not a reason of what he last said, but an argument to enforce his petition delivered, ver.#1|. Soul - My life; nothing less will satisfy him. Dead - I am in as hopeless a condition in the eye of man, as those that have lain long in the grave.
