Gill's Notes on the Bible
For thou [art] my hope, O Lord God,.... The object, ground, and foundation of it, even of present deliverance, and of future and eternal salvation;
[thou art] my trust from my youth; in whom he trusted in his youthful days, of which there is an eminent instance in 1 Samuel 17:33.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For thou art my hope, O Lord God - The ground of my hope and my expectation is in thee.
(1) I have no other help; no other defense; but
(2) I “have” confidence; on thee I “do” rely.
Thou art my trust from my youth - From my earliest years. The meaning is, that he had always trusted in God, and had always found him a helper. All that he was, and all that he possessed, he owed to God; and he felt now that God had been his protector from his earliest years. Perhaps it could not be shown certainly from this expression that he meant to say he had “actually trusted” in God from his youth, for the “language” means no more than that God had actually protected him, and holden him up, and had continually interposed to save and keep him. As God had always been his Protector, so he felt that he might come to Him now, and put his trust in Him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 71:5. My trust from my youth. — When I was born into the world, thou didst receive me, and thou tookest me under thy especial care. "My praise shall be continually of thee." Rather, I have always made thee my boast.
