Psalms 71:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 71:14

But I will hope continually
For deliverance and salvation from present outward troubles, for; more grace here and glory hereafter: it is the excellency of the grace of hope to be exercised in times of affliction and distress, and with Abraham to believe in hope against hope; and then it is that this grace is eminently and remarkably useful: it is an anchor to the soul when in distress, which keeps it firm and steadfast; and an helmet, which covers the head in the day of battle; in the exercise of which the believer glories in tribulation: it is an abiding grace, and should be continually exercised by those that have it, which is to abound in it; but this must be through the power of the Holy Ghost, ( Romans 15:13 ) ;

and will yet praise thee more and more;
or "will add to all thy praise" {b}; to former praises and thanksgivings, fresh ones, as his mercies were renewed to him, and he was daily loaded with benefits.

Psalms 71:14 In-Context

12 God, don't just watch from the sidelines. Come on! Run to my side!
13 My accusers - make them lose face. Those out to get me - make them look
14 while I stretch out, reaching for you, and daily add praise to praise.
15 I'll write the book on your righteousness, talk up your salvation the livelong day, never run out of good things to write or say.
16 I come in the power of the Lord God, I post signs marking his right-of-way.
