הַבֵּ֤יט יָמִ֨ין ׀ וּרְאֵה֮ וְאֵֽין־לִ֪י מַ֫כִּ֥יר אָבַ֣ד מָנ֣וֹס מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֵ֖ין דּוֹרֵ֣שׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃
내 우편을 살펴 보소서 나를 아는 자도 없고 피난처도 없고 내 영혼을 돌아보는 자도 없나이다
Duties of the Heart
To hasten and be quick to cling to the service of the king of the land, because he has no friend who can intervene with the king on his behalf if he transgresses the service. His matter is opposite that of the answer the Shunamit gave when the prophet asked her: "Behold, you have been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for you? would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host?" (Melachim II 4:13,), she answered "I dwell among my people", she meant to say: "my people and my family will speak to him on my behalf in the time of need". This is not so for a stranger. Rather, he is as written: "I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would acknowledge me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul" (Tehilim 142:5).
