Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 5. My trust from my youth. ] When I was born into the world, thou didst receive me, and thou tookest me under thy especial care. "My praise shall be continually of thee." Rather, I have always made thee my boast.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-13 - David prays that he might never be made ashamed of dependence upon God With this petition every true believer may come boldly to the throne of grace. The gracious care of Divine providence in our birth and infancy should engage us to early piety. He that was our Help from our birth ought to be our Hope from our youth. Let none expect ease or comfor from the world. Those who love the Lord, often are hated an persecuted; men wondered at for their principles and conduct; but the Lord has been their strong refuge. The faithful servants of God may be assured that he will not cast them off in old age, nor forsake the when their strength fails.
