Psalms 71:2

“Deliver me in thy righteousness, etc.] By it, or “for the sake of [it]” f955; (see Gill on “<193101>Psalm 31:1”); and cause me to escape; present danger, and out of the hands of enemies, as well as wrath to come, and eternal death; which nothing but the righteousness of God can deliver from, or cause to escape; incline thine ear unto me; or “bow it”; (see Gill on “<193102>Psalm 31:2”); and save me; out of all troubles and afflictions, and from wicked and unreasonable men.”

“Deliver me in thy righteousness - See the notes at Psalms 31:1. The first three verses of this psalm seem in fact to have been taken, with slight variations, from the first three verses of Psalms 31:0. And cause me to escape - That is, from impending dangers; from the power of my enemies. Incline thine ear unto me - In Psalms 31:2, this is, “Bow down thine ear to me.” The idea is the same. See the notes at that place. Compare the notes at Psalms 17:6. And save me - In Psalms 31:2, this is, “Deliver me speedily.” return to 'Top of Page'”
