What Does Psalm 71:24 Mean My tongue- The psalmist starts with something as ordinary as a tongue, reminding us that God delights to use the simple parts of our lives for His glory (James 3:9–10 shows both blessing and cursing can flow from the tongue; here only blessing is chosen). - By choosing to speak, not merely think, he takes a public stand like David in Psalm 35:28: “Then my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness and Your praises all day long.” - Our own tongues become instruments of testimony when surrendered to the Lord (Psalm 51:15). will indeed proclaim Your righteousness - “Will indeed” signals a settled decision, not a fleeting mood. The psalmist mirrors Psalm 40:10: “I have not concealed Your righteousness within my heart; I have proclaimed Your faithfulness and salvation.” - God’s righteousness is His moral perfection on display—seen supremely at the cross where “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf” (2 Corinthians 5:21). - Proclaiming righteousness aligns us with the gospel itself, for in it “the righteousness of God is revealed” (Romans 1:17). all day long - Praise is not squeezed into a religious slot; it saturates the schedule. Psalm 34:1 echoes, “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.” - From sunrise to sunset “the name of the LORD is to be praised” (Psalm 113:3). - Continual praise re-calibrates our hearts, keeping anxiety at bay (Philippians 4:6 links prayer and thanksgiving with peace). for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded - The psalmist’s confidence is not in personal strength but in God’s justice.

The psalmist chooses to let his tongue be a loudspeaker for divine righteousness, morning to night. Because God confounds those plotting evil, the believer is free from fear and full of praise. Our calling is the same: keep speaking of His righteousness, trust Him to handle our adversaries, and let worship frame every hour. (24) My tongue.--Comp. this with the conclusion of Psalms 35Verse 24. - My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long. The musical utterance of praise can only be occasional, but the tongue can "talk" of God continually (see ver. 15). For they are confounded and brought unto shame, that seek my hurt (comp.
