Psalm 71:14

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 71:1-24

Psalms 71:0 Israel’s Song of Hope 1. Declaration of trust (Psalms 71:1-11 ) 2. Anticipations of faith (Psalms 71:12-18 ) 3. Revival and victory (Psalms 71:19-24 ) This Psalm, which bears no inscription whatever, gives another prophetic picture of the faith and the anticipations of faith as found in the godly of Israel, when the salvation is about to come out of Zion. They look to Him who is all sufficient to deliver and to save them. The Psalm may well be called Israel’s song of hope. It... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 71:1-24

Psalms 67:0 The first half dozen of these psalms form a group millennial and Messianic. The first is millennial. It is Israel who speaks; the psalm cannot be appreciated unless the word “us” in Psalms 67:1 is so applied. When God has mercy upon and blesses Israel in the latter days, His way and His saving health unto all nations (Psalms 67:2 ) will begin to be known. In other words, the present age is one of out-gathering, but the age to come (millennial) will be one of in-gathering. God is now... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 71:11-24

I think it would be wrong to break the thread of this most beautiful address, and therefore I have preserved it entire. In any, and in every sense, whether we behold it as the words of Christ, or of David, or of any other follower of Jesus, the doctrine is the same; Christ and his righteousness, Christ and his salvation, are the righteousness and salvation of Jehovah. My righteousness (saith Jehovah) shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation; Isaiah 51:8 . And elsewhere... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 71:14

Usuries. Hebrew toc, (Haydock) means "fraud and usury." Eternal torment is the usury which God exacts for murder, &c., (St. Augustine) or a transient pleasure. (Haydock) --- From this Christ has redeemed us, (Berthier) as well as from iniquity. (St. Augustine) --- Original sin is the capital, for which the devil claims usury. (Bellarmine) --- Name. Hebrew, "blood." Septuagint properly wrote Greek: aima, which has been changed for Greek: onoma. The sense is not very different, as those... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 71:14-24

14-24 The psalmist declares that the righteousness of Christ, and the great salvation obtained thereby, shall be the chosen subject of his discourse. Not on a sabbath only, but on every day of the week, of the year, of his life. Not merely at stated returns of solemn devotion, but on every occasion, all the day long. Why will he always dwell on this? Because he knew not the numbers thereof. It is impossible to measure the value or the fulness of these blessings. The righteousness is... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 71:13-24

Warning and Thanksgiving v. 13. Let them be confounded and consumed, heaped with disgrace and delivered to utter ruin, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered, completely enveloped, with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt, endeavoring to carry their wickedness into practise at every opportunity. v. 14. But I, in spite of such wicked counsels, will hope continually and will yet praise Thee more and more, knowing that there will be further occasion for expressing his... read more

Psalms 71:0 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust:Let me never be put to confusion.2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:Incline thine ear unto me, and save me.3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort:Thou hast given commandment to save me;For thou art my rock and my fortress.4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.5 For thou art my hope,O Lord God : thou-art my... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 71:13-24

the Greatest of All Workers Psalms 71:13-24 The singer glances both backward and forward. He goes back in thought to the time when he was cast on God at birth, and acknowledges that God has taught him from his youth and has enabled him to declare God’s wondrous works. We may make the same retrospect, and as we muse on all that God has been to us, we may be assured that He will not forsake the work of His own hands, Psalms 138:8 . His deliverances will give cause for endless praise, even when... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 71:1-24

This is pre-eminently a song of the aged, and, like old age, it is reminiscent. The singer passes from memory to hope, and from experience to praise. No very definite division is possible. Generally speaking, it may be noticed that the first part expresses need, and is principally prayer, while the second half affirms con6dence and is principally praise. The song opens with a prayer for deliverance (verses Psa 71:1-8 ). This is not so much a cry out of present distress as a prayer that in the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 71:1-24

LXXI. A Psalm of Gratitude for God’ s Constant Care of His Servant from Youth to Old Age.— The Psalmist expresses himself in language borrowed from older sources. Psalms 71:1-Leviticus : . Quoted from Psalms 31. Use is also made of Psalms 22. But the Psalmist is a man of original power, and the Ps. has a definite character of its own. He has powerful enemies and has been brought to death’ s door, but he is full of trust that God, who has led him from his infancy, will lead him to the end. He... read more
