Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 71:1-24

This psalm, though destitute of title, has passed down to us as composed by David, during the rebellion of Absalom. He uses the same words in his present troubles, as when Saul pursued him. Psalms 71:4 . Deliver me, oh my God, out of the hand of the wicked, the abandoned rebels: yea, out of the hands of the cruel Absalom, who murdered Amnon, his own brother, and now seeks to kill his father.

Psa 71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. Ver. 23. And my soul, which thou hast redeemed ] Hearts and lips shall concur in this work. The voice which is made in the mouth is nothing so sweet as that which cometh from the depth of the breast.
