Commentary on Psalms 71:20

Theological / Devotional

Shalt quicken me. Hope for the future is grounded in remembrance of the past.

Depths of the earth. Metaphorically, the extremes of suffering and depression (see Ps. 88:6 ; 130:1). David expresses a positive assurance that God will rescue him from the depths of distress and set him in a place of security.
