Berean Standard Bible

“For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.”

Psalms 71:5

Save as image

Study note

Psalms 71 is the prayer of an older believer who has trusted God from youth and now faces the weakness of age and the taunts of enemies. It has no title, and many think it was written late in David's life.
