1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Matthew Henry's Psalms Chapter 71 Bible commentary...
Prayers that God would deliver and save. (1-13) Believing praises. (14-24)
1-13 David prays that he might never be made ashamed of dependence upon God. With this petition every true believer may come boldly to the throne of grace. The gracious care of Divine providence in our birth and infancy, should engage us to early piety. He that was our Help from our birth, ought to be our Hope from our youth. Let none expect ease or comfort from the world. Those who love the Lord, often are hated and persecuted; men wondered at for their principles and conduct; but the Lord has been their strong refuge. The faithful servants of God may be assured that he will not cast them off in old age, nor forsake them when their strength fails.
14-24 The psalmist declares that the righteousness of Christ, and the great salvation obtained thereby, shall be the chosen subject of his discourse. Not on a sabbath only, but on every day of the week, of the year, of his life. Not merely at stated returns of solemn devotion, but on every occasion, all the day long. Why will he always dwell on this? Because he knew not the numbers thereof. It is impossible to measure the value or the fulness of these blessings. The righteousness is unspeakable, the salvation everlasting. God will not cast off his grey-headed servants when no longer capable of labouring as they have done. The Lord often strengthens his people in their souls, when nature is sinking into decay. And it is a debt which the old disciples of Christ owe to succeeding generations, to leave behind them a solemn testimony to the advantage of religion, and the truth of God's promises; and especially to the everlasting righteousness of the Redeemer. Assured of deliverance and victory, let us spend our days, while waiting the approach of death, in praising the Holy One of Israel with all our powers. And while speaking of his righteousness, and singing his praises, we shall rise above fears and infirmities, and have earnests of the joys of heaven. The work of redemption ought, above all God's works, to be spoken of by us in our praises. The Lamb that was slain, and has redeemed us to God, is worthy of all blessing and praise.

We serve the God that is big in his own great power, but he doesn’t look how small we are; he is always in the midst of us, ready to help. When the enemy thinks he gets you, then he is ready to take control by his power and mighty hands in his son Jesus’ name. Amen.

I thank everyone for their comments on this Psalms verse, because surely I have been under great attack on every hand and have felt forsaken by my Lord. But I am in remembrance that the father said that he will never leave me nor forsake me. So there I surrender all to my Lord and savior today and I know that everything that I have been through, that it all will work out for my good. So I thank God for my enemies that have tried to take my life for they have helped to make me strong in the Lord. Amen and Amen.

I learnt that God is my refuge no matter what or who may be against me.The Chapter makes me secure in His promises and gives me peace in the knowledge that we should always 'be still and know that He is God' Above all I realise that I am a winner because God knows the good plans that he has for me,to give me hope a good future. The Lord shall remain my fortress all the days of my life....Haleluya

I have sinned. And why not? Of course a sinner will sin. I have been blessed greatly in life and yet for most of my adult life, i have selfishly continued to ignore God. I am turning my eyes to the Lord and am learning to pray. God is slowly opening my eyes and the beauty and joy of life is being revealed to me. I am finally becoming thankful and joyful.
