14 But I will hope in you continually
and will render even more praise to you.

though I do not know their extent.[b]

and declare your righteousness,[c] yours alone.
Footnotes
- Psalm 71:15 A vow to offer praise to God for his help (see note on Ps 7:18).
- Psalm 71:15 The psalmist does not know the full extent of God’s goodness toward him. For God’s acts of salvation, consisting of his mighty deeds (v. 16) and marvelous works (v. 17), are too numerous to count (see Pss 40:6; 139:17f).
- Psalm 71:16 Mighty deeds . . . righteousness: God’s “mighty deeds” on behalf of his people flow from his “righteousness”—and show forth that righteousness (see also v. 24). See also note on Ps 9:2.
