Psalms Chapter 71 Discussion

    Psalm 70 and 71. These two Psalms would appear to be a continous passage; let me know if I'm wrong here. This is the last Psalm related to David personally in this section and Psalm 72 indicates the last one authored by David as related to Solomon.

    The theme of being "poor and needy" and making haste for help is seen repeated once again as we saw in Psalm 69 and most of the preceding Psalms in the 2nd section of the book. Verse 18 makes it pretty clear that he was indeed aged with the gray hairs mentioned and a point blank statement of being old. He desired to remain until he reached "this generation" and power to every one that is to come. This would be accomplished of course through giving Solomon quite a financial and planning "jumpstart" to the opulent Temple being built with a modern day value of materials easily in the billions. I have seen estimates in the HUNDREDS of billions. How sad that Solomon's downfall basically ended the Kingdom of Israel and let to a divided state which has to date never reached it's fullest glory but will in the Millennium.

    We notice in verse 17 David recognized being taught from an early age. Solomon also had proper upbringing but didn't learn until his life was nearly over the folly that his life became following foreign women and hoarding possessions despite God's warnings to him. Such is the message of Ecclesiastes. May we all learn so as not to embrace madness and folly to achieve understanding!

    Praise and proper worship (verse 22-24) also were remembered by David. He was a man after God's own heart ( 1 Samuel 13:14) which Saul didn't like to acknowledge. This was despite his grevious sin with Bathsheeba that the Lord ultimately used for His purposes but cost him the privilege of building the Temple himself. ( 1 Chron. 22:18 and elsewhere).

    You are correct, that Yoga is not mentioned or recommended in the Bible because it is a Hindu spiritual practice that goes back to ancient times. In my opinion based on my research on this practice is that Christians should not practice yoga, even if it is "Christianized" which is another term for syncretic melding of a pagan practice with Christian overlay. My doctor has recommended yoga for me, but I have turned down this recommendation each time because of what I know about the pagan underpinnings of it. There are many, many exercises one can do to strengthen their body, enhance their balance, and de-stress their body other than using yoga.

    Thank the Lord that He is the one who delivered me from my mother's womb. Today being in the mother's womb is one of the most dangerous places to be. I praise God that the Supreme Court is going to rule on Roe v. Wade and settle this issue once and for all. I pray the Lord will give them the wisdom to make the correct judgment and leave it up to the States to settle the issue. God will hold us accountable if we do not hold them up in prayer for this most important ruling.

    I think I mistakenly reply to you. Sorry if you're not the one I meant to reply to.

    I have believed and I didn't ask other humans to explain.

    I believed God made the things like moon and stars and he made us in his image. I acknowledge the space cause there is where the moon is.
  • David on Psalms 71 - 2 years ago
    In order not to be moved and confused, I must know my Lord Very intimately. I must know what makes my God Love, Laugh, Why He will bless and why He will with hold a blessing. His mind towards sin, and righteousness. Holiness and faithfulness, commitment, through His Word. V6 For He is my hope and my Trust. Through me, people will either come to know Christ or not. Through my speech and testimony people will learn to trust Christ as Savior or blaspheme against Him and turn away from Him. V7- 9 Many wonder of me and know not my strength comes from You. V16 I will extol You and make mention of Your righteousness and salvation all the day. V21-24

    "21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

    22 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.

    23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

    24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt." I must be faithful and true to plant the seed, and water it. The Lord, He will give the increase.

    I praise your Holy Name. Let me not waver or be disheartened, For my Lord God King Jesus Christ is on the throne in Heaven and in my heart.

    Waiting is always hard to do! The holy spirit reveals himself through the word. As simple as that may seem, we need to be ready to receive Him. Frustrating the spirit is what we do. Our nature is always contending with the world. U may find someone who is living in the spirit, I know if it were not for the Holy spirit I would not be doing His will. The Holy spirit is a person, Jesus called him the comforter. Study to show thyself approved. I wonder how the early church with little word, other than word of mouth, how they grew in faith? Fellowship with those who believe in the resurrection of Christ and sharing the comforter is always a good way to learn.

    King David,s Psalm reassured me in shadow of death is there. That God is wanting over Senior and we are not forgotten and therefore produce fruit for Kingdom of God. Thank you Lord!!!
  • Onyekachukwu Ogechi Levinus Alaka on Psalms 71:1 - 3 years ago
    He expresses God's faithfulness (vv. 1-3) - He rests everything on the character of God and on the compassion of God. Let a person invest his faith and trust in the living God and he will find that, when all else fails, God is still in business. Praised God. Amen.

    Yes Hazel, You are so right. The glory and magnificence of his Being and Word are truly beyond our understanding. Then He also indwells us with His Holy Spirit. He loved us so much that His only Son came and paid the supreme price for our eternal deliverance.All we have to do is to receive His gift. May all of us truly know that the greatest word in Elohim's vocabulary is LOVE ! ! ! jrock.

    I believe that daily our walk with God is to grow closer so one cannot get confused or sidetrack from the lords will because Satan is always at work.

    Verse 5~David developed courage by relying on Jehovah God and trusting in God from his youth and through his entire life.
  • Juliana on Psalms 71 - 6 years ago
    O God, Thou has taught me from my youth ( Ps. 71: 17): hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. I believe that Psalm 71 clearly shows that the psalmist David had a close relationship with God who taught him from his youth. He depended on God to fight his battles. As children of God we will always have enemies and David was no exception. His praise to God never ceased.

    "I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge." One of my biggest griefs and questions for many years has been, Why do Churches NOT seem to know, and many even fight against the true Word of God and the Glad Tidings of Christ; turning it into a social club for mending relationships and being successful in life? I'm seeing more and more that its because they are afraid of the cross.

    I put my trust in God.
  • A disciple on Psalms 71 - 6 years ago
    "In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion." Psalms 71:1 What ever entered into men's hearts, and after what were they led, that confusion should then be sent by God for judgment and punishment, restraining them from what they imagined to do? And how so would it be God's conclusion and righteous remedy to let one be put to confusion? The degree of embarrassment should be fitting to the measure of our pride in the trespass, and of the inordinate thoughts and behavior we followed against better judgment and obedience. The error of the ungodly is made manifest by the confusion and darkness that they are held under and it shouldn't be any less for one professing knowledge of the truth in Christ. All the more we ought to be careful to attend to love, and a good conscience, and faith without hypocrisy, if we like not to be ashamed before men or worse, at the presence of the Lord when He comes.

    Ps. ch. 71 - I want everyone to know - I am not 'IRENE'; I am Irene 123
  • Irene on Psalms 71 - 6 years ago
    To me I hear that I put all my trust in God and asking not to be confused with what I think. That I trust in Him.
  • Rosie on Psalms 71 - 7 years ago
    God is our beginning and our end. The Great I Am. Although sometimes our flesh anticipates God to fix our problems and protect us when we ask it's not always his time to do so but he will do so at his right time. Keep your faith and be patient. Our Lord and Savior will not forget because his love is UNCONDITIONAL.
  • NGELE SUNDAY EZE on Psalms 71 - 7 years ago
    Psalms 71:21Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. And going back now to verse 7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. I love these verse and I am confident He is my shield and He will greatly reward me according to Gen 15: 1. May He forever reign in my Life! Amen.
