Contextual Overview

¹ O Lord , I have come to you for protection; don't let me be disgraced. ² Save me and rescue me, for you do what is right.

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.
