An Inexhaustible Subject
Psalm 71:15
My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.


This psalmist's words may well be a pattern for old men, who need fear no failure of buoyancy, nor any collapse of gladness, if they will fix their thoughts where this singer did his. Other subjects of thought and speech will pall and run dry; but he whose theme is God's righteousness and the salvation that flows from it will never lack materials for animating meditation and grateful praise. "I know not the numbers thereof." It is something to have fast hold of an inexhaustible subject. It will keep an old man young.

(A. Maclaren, D. D.)
