The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

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. Who, O God, is like You? ²⁰Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up. ²¹You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. ²²So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. ²³My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to You, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness,.... Both his punitive justice in taking vengeance on his enemies, agreeably to the above imprecations; and his faithfulness in the performance of promises of good things unto him; as also his essential righteousness displayed and glorified in the redemption that is by Christ; and particularly the righteousness of Christ, accepted of God, and imputed by him; which the psalmist with his mouth declared his faith in, expressed his joy at, and set forth in a strong manner the glory and excellency of it, and determined to make mention of it, and of that only, as in Psalms 71:16;

[and] thy salvation all the day; both temporal and eternal; the glory of both, and praise for the same;

for I know not the numbers [thereof]; of that righteousness and salvation, the numerous blessings which are contained in them; see

Psalms 40:5; or "though I know not the numbers of them" c; though he could not fully declare the glories and excellencies of the righteousness and salvation of God, and the numerous mercies and rich grace included in them; yet he would attempt to set them forth in the best way he could, though in a feeble and imperfect manner.

c כי "quamvis", Junius Tremellius, Piscator, Gejerus So Ainsworth.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness ... - See the notes at Psalms 71:8. The word “righteousness” here refers to the righteous character of God, particularly as manifested in his behalf; the word “salvation” refers to what God had done to deliver him from his dangers.

For I know not the numbers thereof - That is, I cannot estimate the amount of thy favors; they are innumerable. See the notes at Psalms 40:5.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 71:15. I know not the numbers — I must be continually in the spirit of gratitude, praise, and obedience, for thy blessings to me are innumerable.
