[4.] "Thou seest me, if in any instance I depart
from thee," Ps 44:20, 21. This thought should
always restrain us from sin and excite us to
duty: Thou God seest me.
2. She rebukes her own dullness and
acknowledges God's graces, who was present
with her everywhere. Her humble admiration
of God's favour to her: "Have I here also looked
after him that seeth me? Have I here seen the
back parts of him that seeth me?" so it might be
read, for the word is much the same with that,
Ex 33:23. She saw not face to face, but as
through a glass darkly, 1Co 13:12. Probably
she knew not who it was that talked with her,
till he was departing (as Jdg 6:21, 22, 13:21),
and then she looked after him, with a reflection
like that of the two disciples, Lu 24:31, 32. Or,
Have I here seen him that sees me? Note,
(1.) The communion which holy souls have
with God consists in their having an eye of faith
towards him, as a God that has an eye of favour
towards them. The intercourse is kept up by the
eye.
