Gill's Exposition on Psalms 71:23

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee,.... Both with vocal and instrumental music; this is praising the Lord with joyful lips, Psalms 63:5; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed;

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 71:23

I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. -Promise of thanks for the deliverance anticipated by faith. Verse 22.

Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 71:23

Psalms 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. The deeper and hollower the belly of the lute or viol is, the pleasanter is the sound; the fleeter, the more grating and harsh in our ears.

Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 71:23

(23) My lips shall . . .—Rather, my lips shall sing while I play to thee, i.e., a hymn should accompany the harp. There is, therefore, no thought of the union of the bodily and spiritual powers in praise of God, though it is natural the verse should have suggested such an interpretation to the Fathers; and indeed the thought of the poet, if we read the whole psalm, with its retrospect of life, is a wish— “That mind and soul according well, May make one music as before, But vaster.”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 71:23

Verse 23. My lips shall greatly rejoice - and my soul] My lips shall use words expressive of my soul's happiness and gratitude. Thou hast redeemed me; and thou shalt have the eternal praise.

Cambridge Bible on Psalms 71:23

23. My lips shall sing aloud when I make melody unto thee. P.B.V. ‘my lips shall be fain,’ i.e. glad: Vulg. exultabunt. my soul] His whole self and personality, delivered from danger, will join in the glad thanksgiving. Cp. Psalms 34:22; Psalms 55:18.

Barnes' Notes on Psalms 71:23

My lips shall greatly rejoice ... - My lips will seem to be happy in the privilege of celebrating the praises of God. And my soul, which thou hast redeemed - Compare Psalms 34:22.

Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 71:23

23. My lips shall greatly rejoice—No common joy could express the feelings due to such wonderful deliverance.
