Psalms 71:5,6 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Of all the subjects to arrest the tenderest affection of the true believer, Jesus's incarnation, and Jesus's condescension in the years of childhood, are among them. Here is an identical person spoken of peculiarly and specially to be regarded. See Psalms 62:8-10. Oh! Reader! it is blessed to behold Christ in his word. Every day, and all the day, would I so desire to see him. This, indeed, is the one only sight my faith desires in the present life. For this is giving credit to God's word. And where the Lord gives grace to a poor sinner to honour his word; the Lord will surely honour and reward that faith.

Psalms 71:5-6

5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.

6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
