Psalms 71:6-9
leaned <05564> [By thee.]
pulled <01491> [thou art.]
praise <08416> [my praise.]
[as a wonder.--]
{Kemopaton,} "as a prodigy:" my low estate,--my slaying the lion and bear,--conquering the Philistine,--escaping the fury of Saul,--being raised to the throne of Israel,--enduring such uncommon trials and afflictions,--and experiencing such wonderful deliverances, all mark me out as the subject of "wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong Refuge."
secure <05797> [thou art.]
reject <07993> [Cast.]
old age <02209> [old age.]
This determines the period when this Psalm was composed; for it was in David's old age that the rebellion of Absalom took place.
strength <03581> [when.]
