Commentary on Psalms 71:16
The psalmist will 'go in the strength of the Lord God' and 'make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.' Going in God's strength, not personal power, ensures success. Mentioning 'thy righteousness only' eliminates boasting in human achievement. This exclusive focus on divine righteousness anticipates Paul's teaching that believers have no righteousness of their own but rely entirely on Christ's imputed righteousness (Philippians 3:9). Sola gratia—grace alone—grounds all Christian confidence.
