Psalm 71:19 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 71:19

Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high
Or, "unto [the place] on high" ^F6; it reaches unto heaven, as the mercy, truth, and faithfulness of God, are said to do, ( Psalms 36:5 ) ( 57:10 ) . The righteousness of Christ is accepted of with God the Father in heaven; it is in Christ, who is there at the right hand of God; and it is higher and infinitely above any righteousness of a creature, angel's or man's;

who hast done great things;
in nature, in forming the world out of nothing, and in upholding all creatures in their beings; in providence, in governing the world, and ordering all things in it for the best, and to answer the wisest purposes; in grace, in the salvation of lost sinners by Christ; in the justification of them by his righteousness; and in the atonement and pardon of their sins, through his blood and sacrifice; in the regeneration of them by his grace; in making and performing exceeding great and precious promises, and in giving them eternal life;

O God, who [is] like unto thee?
either for greatness or goodness; for power or for mercy; for justice, truth, and faithfulness; for the perfections of his nature, or the works of his hands; and to be praised, reverenced and adored, as he is; see ( Psalms 89:6 Psalms 89:7 ) .

Psalm 71:19 In-Context

17 Oh Dios, tú me has enseñado desde mi tierna infancia,
y yo siempre les cuento a los demás acerca de tus hechos maravillosos.

18 Ahora que estoy viejo y canoso,
no me abandones, oh Dios.
Permíteme proclamar tu poder a esta nueva generación,
tus milagros poderosos a todos los que vienen después de mí.

19 Tu justicia, oh Dios, alcanza los cielos más altos;
¡has hecho cosas tan maravillosas!
¿Quién se compara contigo, oh Dios?

20 Has permitido que sufra muchas privaciones,
pero volverás a darme vida
y me levantarás de las profundidades de la tierra.

21 Me restaurarás incluso a mayor honor
y me consolarás una vez más.
