Commentary on Psalms 71:2
The appeal 'Deliver me in thy righteousness' grounds rescue not in the psalmist's merit but God's character. God's righteousness includes His covenant faithfulness—He must save His people to remain true to His promises. 'Cause me to escape' acknowledges inability to self-rescue. 'Incline thine ear' asks for God's attentive hearing. 'Save me' is direct petition. Each phrase emphasizes dependence on divine initiative and character, not human worthiness or effort.
