Psalms 71

Psalms 71:2

Cause me to escape] Likely from Absalom. For this Psalme may seem to be penned by David, though his name be not in the Title, and in his old age.

Psalms 71:5

God.] This word is Jehovih, that is, with the vowels of Elohim. So again verse 16. and Psal. LXVIII. 20. And so it is usually written when, as I have said, Adonai goeth before it, or next followeth it. At other times having the vowels of Adonai, it is pronounced Lord. See 2 Sam. VII. 18, 19, 20.

Psalms 71:7

a wonder] Esay VIII. 18. Heb. II. 13. Zech. III. 8. and 1 Corinth. IV. 9.

Psalms 71:16

even of thine only] not mine owne: which is none to thine.

Psalms 71:20

quicken me again, and shalt bring me up] Me, me, in the Hebrew margin; but us, us, in the text.
