In biblical context, righteousness often refers to God's moral perfection and justice. The psalmist's declaration is an act of worship and testimony, reflecting a life dedicated to proclaiming God's character. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of speaking truth and righteousness, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/40-9.htm">Psalm 40:9-10</a>, where the psalmist also speaks of God's righteousness in the great assembly. The act of declaring God's righteousness is a form of witness to others, encouraging them to recognize and trust in God's just nature.<p><b>and Your salvation all day long</b><br>The mention of "salvation" here refers to God's deliverance and protection, which is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms. The psalmist's commitment to speak of God's salvation "all day long" suggests a continual, unwavering focus on God's saving acts. This reflects a deep gratitude and acknowledgment of God's ongoing work in the believer's life. The concept of salvation in the Old Testament often includes both physical deliverance from enemies and spiritual salvation, pointing forward to the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ. This continuous declaration is a reminder of the believer's duty to keep God's saving power at the forefront of their daily life.<p><b>though I cannot know their full measure</b><br>This phrase acknowledges human limitations in fully comprehending God's righteousness and salvation. It reflects a humble recognition that God's ways and deeds are beyond complete human understanding, as echoed in <a href="/isaiah/55-8.htm">Isaiah 55:8-9</a>, where God's thoughts and ways are described as higher than ours. This humility is a common theme in Scripture, where believers are encouraged to trust in God's wisdom and sovereignty, even when they cannot fully grasp it. The psalmist's admission of this limitation does not deter his praise but rather enhances it, as it underscores the greatness and mystery of God's nature and works.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalmist.htm">Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/71.htm">Psalm 71</a>, traditionally attributed to David, who is expressing trust and reliance on God throughout his life.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in the Psalm, whose righteousness and salvation are being declared.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/r/righteousness_and_salvation.htm">Righteousness and Salvation</a></b><br>Key themes in the Psalm, representing God's just nature and His deliverance of His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/p/proclaiming_god's_righteousness.htm">Proclaiming God's Righteousness</a></b><br>As believers, we are called to declare God's righteousness and salvation continually.
