Psalm 71:14 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 71:14-24

David is here in a holy transport of joy and praise, arising from his faith and hope in God; we have both together Ps. 71:14; where there is a sudden and remarkable change of his voice; his fears are all silenced, his hopes raised, and his prayers turned into thanksgivings. ?Let my enemies say what they will, to drive me to despair, I will hope continually, hope in all conditions, in the most cloudy and dark day; I will live upon hope and will hope to the end.? Since we hope in one that will... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 71:14

But I will hope continually ,.... For deliverance and salvation from present outward troubles, for; more grace here and glory hereafter: it is the excellency of the grace of hope to be exercised in times of affliction and distress, and with Abraham to believe in hope against hope; and then it is that this grace is eminently and remarkably useful: it is an anchor to the soul when in distress, which keeps it firm and steadfast; and an helmet, which covers the head in the day of battle; in the... read more

I will hope continually - I shall expect deliverance after deliverance, and blessing after blessing; and, in consequence, I will praise thee more and more. As thy blessings abound, so shall my praises. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 71:14

Verse 14 14.But I will hope continually. David again, as having obtained the victory, prepares himself for thanksgiving. There is, however, no doubt, that during the time when the wicked derided his simplicity, he struggled manfully amidst his distresses, as may be gathered from the word hope. Although, to outward appearance, there was no prospect of deliverance from his troubles, and although the wicked ceased not proudly to pour contempt upon his trust in God, he nevertheless determined to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 71:1-24

Psalms 40:1-3 are almost identical with the opening verses of Psalms 31:1-24 . They express a firm trust in God, but combine with the expression of this trust an urgent prayer for deliverance. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 71:1-24

Godly old age. Solomon has said, "The beauty of old men is the grey head" ( Proverbs 20:29 ). But he tells also of a nobler beauty, "The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness" ( Proverbs 16:31 ). Old men are few, but godly old men are fewer still. Rarity signalizes the "beauty," and enhances the "glory." This psalm may well be called, "The Old Man's Psalm." Would that the portrait were more common! It is pleasant to look at in poetry; it is far more... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 71:14

But I will hope continually ; literally, but as for me, I will hope, etc. The phrase, "as for me," almost always marks a transition. And will yet praise thee more and more; literally, I will add to all thy praise; i.e. "I will add to all my past praises of thee further praises in the future." read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 71:14-24

Regarding his prayers as heard, and their fulfilment as certain, the psalmist now betakes himself to praise and thanksgiving, He will never cease to hope; he will praise God more and more ( Psalms 71:14 ). He will spend the whole day in telling of God's righteousness and salvation ( Psalms 71:15 ). The mighty acts of the Lord shall form his theme, together with the righteousness of God, and of none other ( Psalms 71:16 ). As God has enabled him to declare his praise in the past ( Psalms... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 71:14-24

Persistent hope and increasing praise. Upon these the psalmist resolves in this second half of the psalm. Let us distinguish the topics of his hope and praise. I. GOD 'S WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE INNUMERABLE . ( Psalms 71:15 .) They cannot be reckoned up. All his works are right, both in nature and towards man. II. GOD 'S WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE MIGHTY WORKS . ( Psalms 71:16 .) "I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord"—"unto the temple, with... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 71:14

But I will hope continually - I will always cherish hope; I will not give up to despair. I will trust in God whatever may be the number, the power, and the confidence of my enemies. None of these things shall make me despair, for as long as I have a God, I have every ground for hope. No man should despair who has God for his Friend. Compare Psalms 42:5, Psalms 42:11; Psalms 43:5.And will yet praise thee more and more - literally, “I will add upon all thy praise.” That is, I will accumulate it;... read more
