Commentary on Psalms 71:24

Theological / Devotional

Thy righteousness. See vs. 15, 16, 19. If there were more talk of God’s righteousness, there would be less exalting of our own (see Isa. 64:6).

All the day. See on Ps. 1:2.

They are confounded. David is so certain of the overthrow of the wicked that he speaks of it as already accomplished. Like many of the psalms, Ps. 71 closes in triumph (see Ps. 3:7, 8 ; 7:17; 26:12; etc.). God leads from darkness up to light.
