Psalms 142:5 Commentary: Rashi & Metzudat David

הַבֵּ֤יט יָמִ֨ין ׀ וּרְאֵה֮ וְאֵֽין־לִ֪י מַ֫כִּ֥יר אָבַ֣ד מָנ֣וֹס מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֵ֖ין דּוֹרֵ֣שׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃

Look on my right hand, and see, For there is no man that knoweth me; I have no way to flee; No man careth for my soul.

Rashi on Psalms

1. Look. When I look right and left and see whether there is anyone who will recognize me, but there is none to recognize me: to have me in mind for anything good before Saul.
