Harps were common in ancient Israel, often used in temple worship and personal devotion. The psalmist's commitment to praise God with the harp underscores the importance of music in expressing gratitude and worship. The phrase "for Your faithfulness" highlights God's unwavering reliability and covenant loyalty, a central theme throughout the Old Testament. This faithfulness is often celebrated in the Psalms, reflecting God's consistent care and fulfillment of His promises to Israel.<p><b>I will sing praise to You with the lyre,</b><br>The lyre, another stringed instrument, was also integral to Hebrew worship. Its mention alongside the harp emphasizes the psalmist's dedication to using all available means to glorify God. Singing praises with the lyre suggests a personal and communal act of worship, as music was a key component of Israelite culture and religious practice. This act of singing is not just a ritual but a heartfelt response to God's character and deeds.<p><b>O Holy One of Israel.</b><br>The title "Holy One of Israel" is a profound acknowledgment of God's unique and sacred nature. It is a title that appears frequently in the book of Isaiah, emphasizing God's purity, separateness, and moral perfection. This designation also reinforces the covenant relationship between God and Israel, highlighting His role as their divine protector and guide. The holiness of God is a central theme in the Bible, calling His people to reflect His character in their lives. This phrase connects the psalmist's personal worship to the broader narrative of God's redemptive work through Israel, ultimately pointing to the fulfillment of holiness in Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to David, the psalmist is expressing a deep, personal relationship with God, characterized by trust and praise.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>Referred to as "my God" and "Holy One of Israel," emphasizing a personal and covenantal relationship with His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation chosen by God, often referred to in the Psalms as the recipient of God's faithfulness and holiness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/musical_instruments.htm">Musical Instruments (Harp and Lyre)</a></b><br>Instruments commonly used in ancient Israelite worship, symbolizing joy and celebration in praising God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/faithfulness_of_god.htm">Faithfulness of God</a></b><br>A central theme in the psalm, highlighting God's reliability and steadfast love towards His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_praise.htm">The Importance of Praise</a></b><br>Praise is a vital expression of our relationship with God, acknowledging His faithfulness and holiness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/u/using_our_gifts_for_worship.htm">Using Our Gifts for Worship</a></b><br>Just as the psalmist uses musical instruments, we are encouraged to use our talents and resources to glorify God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/personal_relationship_with_god.htm">Personal Relationship with God</a></b><br>The psalmist's use of "my God" highlights the personal nature of our faith and the importance of cultivating a personal connection with God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/recognizing_god's_faithfulness.htm">Recognizing God's Faithfulness</a></b><br>Reflecting on God's past faithfulness strengthens our trust and encourages us to praise Him in all circumstances.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/w/worship_as_a_response_to_god's_character.htm">Worship as a Response to God's Character</a></b><br>Our worship should be a response to who God is—His holiness, faithfulness, and covenantal love.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_71.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 71</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/bible's_view_on_music.htm">What is the Bible's perspective on music?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_love_a_manifestation_of_god.htm">What musical instruments are mentioned in the Old Testament?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_emphasize_instruments_in_psalm_150.htm">Why does Psalm 150:3-5 emphasize musical instruments if many cultures and eras lacked access to these instruments?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/which_instruments_are_in_the_old_testament.htm">What musical terms are mentioned in the Bible?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/71.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(22) <span class= "bld">With the psaltery.</span>--See <a href="/psalms/57-8.htm" title="Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.">Psalm 57:8</a>, Note.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/71.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 22.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.</span> (On the psaltery, and its use as a devotional instrument, see the comment on Psalm 33:2.)
