Psalms 71:17 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth By the instruction of my parents, by thy word and Spirit enlightening and convincing me, and also by my own experience, namely, concerning thy righteousness last mentioned, the wondrous effects whereof I have received and declared from time to time. Observe here, reader, as it is a great blessing to be taught of God from our youth, from our childhood to know the Holy Scriptures, and the important truths revealed, the privileges exhibited, and the duties inculcated therein; so those that have been favoured and received good in this way, when they were young, must be doing good when they are grown up, and must continue to communicate what they have received.

Psalms 71:17

17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
