Psalms 71:22

Compare all

20 ^aYou, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
^bShall revive me again,
And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

21 You shall increase my greatness,
And comfort me on every side.

22 Also ^awith the lute I will praise You—
And Your faithfulness, O my God!
To You I will sing with the harp,
O ^bHoly One of Israel.

23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You,
And ^amy soul, which You have redeemed.

24 My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long;
For they are confounded,
For they are brought to shame
Who seek my hurt.

Psalms 71:22

I will also praise thee with the psaltery - Margin, as in Hebrew, "with the instrument of psaltery." The Hebrew word is nebel . In Isaiah 5:12 it is rendered "viol." See the notes at that passage. It is rendered "psaltery" in I Samuel 10:5; II Samuel 6:5; I Kings 10:12; and elsewhere. Compare the notes at Psalms 33:2.

Even thy truth - I will make mention of thy truth and faithfulness in my songs of praise; or, I will celebrate these in connection with appropriate music.

Unto thee will I sing with the harp - Hebrew, kinnôr . See the notes at Isaiah 5:12. Compare the notes at Psalms 33:2.

O thou Holy One of Israel - The God of Israel or the Hebrew people; the God regarded by them as most holy, and worshipped by them as their God. This is the first time that this title occurs in the Psalms, but it is common in the prophets, particularly in Isaiah. See Isaiah 1:4; Isaiah 5:19, Isaiah 5:24; Isaiah 10:20; Isaiah 12:6. It occurs also in Psalms 78:41; Psalms 89:18.
