But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
Here hope succeeds to prayer. The hope is summarily stated in Psalms 71:14; and then in Psalms 71:15-21 is expressed, in a developed form, confident determination to go in the strength of the Lord God.
But I will hope continually - I will never cast away my hope in thee (Psalms 71:5).
And will yet praise thee more and more - literally, 'I will add upon all thy praise;' I will add over and above the praise wherewith I have been heretofore accustomed to praise thee. The past causes for praise which thou hast given me are the assurance that thou wilt give me fresh occasions for praise.
