Psalms 71:7

5 For You are ^amy hope, O Lord GOD;
You are my trust from my youth.

6 ^aBy You I have been¹ upheld from birth;
You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise shall be continually of You.

7 ^aI have become as a wonder to many,
But You are my strong refuge.

8 Let ^amy mouth be filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all the day.

9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my strength fails.

Psalms 71:7

I am as a wonder unto many - I am kemopheth "as a portent," or "type:" I am a typical person; and many of the things that happen to me are to be considered in reference to him of whom I am a type. But he may mean I am a continual prodigy. My low estate, my slaying the lion and the bear, conquering the Philistine, escaping the fury of Saul, and being raised to the throne of Israel, are all so many wonders of thy providence, and effects of thy power and grace.
