Psalms 71:24 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 71:24

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day
long (See Gill on Psalms 71:16);

for they are confounded;
his adversaries, for whose confusion he prayed, ( Psalms 71:13 ) ;

for they are brought unto shame that seek my hurt;
as Absalom and Ahithophel, being both brought to a shameful end.

Psalms 71:24 In-Context

22 And I'll take up the lute and thank you to the tune of your faithfulness, God. I'll make music for you on a harp, Holy One of Israel.
23 When I open up in song to you, I let out lungsful of praise, my rescued life a song.
24 All day long I'm chanting about you and your righteous ways, While those who tried to do me in slink off looking ashamed.
