Psalm 71
Concise Complete
Prayers that God would deliver and save. (1-13) Believing praises. (14-24)
Verses 1-13 David
prays that he might never be made ashamed of dependence upon God. With this
petition every true believer may come boldly to the throne of grace. The
gracious care of Divine providence in our birth and infancy, should engage us to
early piety. He that was our Help from our birth, ought to be our Hope from our
youth. Let none expect ease or comfort from the world. Those who love the Lord,
often are hated and persecuted; men wondered at for their principles and
conduct; but the Lord has been their strong refuge. The faithful servants of God
may be assured that he will not cast them off in old age, nor forsake them when
their strength fails.
Verses 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 unspeakable, the salvation everlasting. God will not cast off
his grey-headed servants when no longer capable of labouring as they have done.
The Lord often strengthens his people in their souls, when nature is sinking
into decay. And it is a debt which the old disciples of Christ owe to succeeding
generations, to leave behind them a solemn testimony to the advantage of
religion, and the truth of God's promises; and especially to the everlasting
righteousness of the Redeemer. Assured of deliverance and victory, let us spend
our days, while waiting the approach of death, in praising the Holy One of
Israel with all our powers. And while speaking of his righteousness, and singing
his praises, we shall rise above fears and infirmities, and have earnests of the
joys of heaven. The work of redemption ought, above all God's works, to be
spoken of by us in our praises. The Lamb that was slain, and has redeemed us to
God, is worthy of all blessing and praise.
