My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
Following hard after God means the soul earnestly clings to Him and seeks Him closely. To be upheld by His right hand means that God Himself sustains and helps the soul that so clings to Him. Even in severe pain, when hope seems dim, that earnest pursuit of God is met by His upholding care. The verse therefore encourages holding fast to God and trusting His help in difficulty.
