Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 71:1-24
Psalms 71This individual lament psalm expresses the faith of an older person in need who had trusted in God for many years. The writer is unknown to us. He combined elements that we find in several other psalms to communicate his thoughts (cf. Psalms 22; Psalms 31; Psalms 35; Psalms 40). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 71:9-13
The writer appealed specifically to the Lord not to forsake him in his old age, especially since his adversaries were claiming that God had abandoned him. He had no other defender and cried out to God to do what was right. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 71:1-24
This Ps. of prayer (Psalms 71:1-13) and praise (Psalms 71:14-24) was apparently written by an old man (Psalms 71:9, Psalms 71:18) and in the time of the exile. Some parts of it are undoubtedly national, but much of it expresses personal experience and desire and faith. It is largely made up of extracts from other Pss., yet it has a unity and a beauty of its own.1-3. Practically taken from Psalms 31:1-3. 5, 6. See Psalms 22:9, Psalms 22:10. 7. As a wonder unto many] a striking example of God’s... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 71:9-11
(9-11) This piece may be compared with Psalms 41:6-8. The formal “saying” (Psalms 71:11), introducing a quotation, is an indication of a late date, the early literature employing no signs of quotation. (See, e.g., Psalms 68:12; Psalms 68:26.) read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 71:1-24
Psalms 71:16 This is one of the longest texts in the Bible. In its application it covers an indefinite period of time. The way to write this text is to put a few asterisks after the first three words, 'I will go'. Asterisks, as you know, are used in books to signify a lapse of time. They denote that there is a space of time days, or it may be years between the story that comes before them and the story that follows them. So, I say, we need asterisks in this text. There is sometimes a long... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 71:1-24
Psalms 71:1-24ECHOES of former psalms make the staple of this one, and even those parts of it which are not quotations have little individuality. The themes are familiar, and the expression of them is scarcely less so. There is no well-defined strophical structure, and little continuity of thought or feeling. Psalms 71:13 and Psalms 71:24 b serve as a kind of partial refrain, and may be taken as dividing the psalm into two parts, but there is little difference between the contents of the two.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 71:1-24
Psalms 70-71 A lifetime of faithful servicePsalms 70:0 is the same as Psalms 40:13-17 (see notes). It appears in the collection as a separate psalm probably because it was short and suitable for use in temple services on certain occasions.In Psalms 71:0 the believer is pictured looking back on a long life and recalling how the wicked always have opposed him. But just as God has protected him since childhood, so he will continue to do so now (71:1-6). The psalmist’s life has been a constant... read more
