Contextual Overview

¹⁴But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.¹⁵My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure. ¹⁶I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness-Yours alone. ¹⁷O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds. ¹⁸Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come. ¹⁹Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 exercise of which the believer glories in tribulation: it is an abiding grace, and should be continually exercised by those that have it, which is to abound in it; but this must be through the power of the Holy Ghost, Romans 15:13;

and will yet praise thee more and more; or "will add to all thy praise" b; to former praises and thanksgivings, fresh ones, as his mercies were renewed to him, and he was daily loaded with benefits.

b והוספתי על כל תהלתך "omnibus laudibus tuis adjiciam", Tigurine version.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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; I will increase it. He saw abundant cause in the past for praising God; he had such confidence in him, and he felt such an assurance that he would interpose in his behalf, that he did not doubt that in the future dealings of God with him, he would have every reason to “add” to that praise.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 71:14. 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.
