1In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, || Do not let me be disappointed for all time.2You deliver me in Your righteousness, || And cause me to escape, || Incline Your ear to me, and save me. 3Be a rock to me—a habitation, || To go in continually, || You have given command to save me, || For You [are] my rock and my bulwark. 4O my God, cause me to escape || From the hand of the wicked, || From the hand of the perverse and violent. 5For You [are] my hope, O Lord YHWH, || My trust from my youth. 6I have been supported from the womb by You, || You cut me out from my mother's bowels, || My praise [is] continually in You. 7I have been as a wonder to many, || And You [are] my strong refuge. 8My mouth is filled [with] Your praise, || All the day [with] Your beauty. 9Do not cast me off at the time of old age, || Do not forsake me according to the consumption of my power. 10For my enemies have spoken against me, || And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,

Let me never be put to confusion - Let me never be ashamed; that is, Let me not be so disappointed in the trust that I repose in thee as to have occasion to feel ashamed that I have done it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

PSALM LXXI

The prophet, in confidence, prays for God's favour, 1-5;

recounts God's kindness to him from youth to old age, 6-9;

shows what his adversaries plot against him, and prays for

their confusion, 10-13;

promises fidelity, and determines to be a diligent preacher of

righteousness even in old age, 16-19;

takes encouragement in God's mercy, and foresees the confusion

of all his adversaries, 20-24.


NOTES ON PSALM LXXI

There is no title to this Psalm either in the Hebrew or Chaldee; and the reason is, it was written as a part of the preceding Psalm, as appears by about twenty-seven of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS. The Vulgate, Septuagint, AEthiopic, and Arabic, have, "A Psalm of David for the sons of Jonadab, and the first of those who were led captives." For the first, second, and third verses, see the notes on their parallels, Psalms 31:1-3.
