Psalms 71:15

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness,

And of thy salvation all the day;

For I know not the tale thereof.

Salvation is coupled with righteousness, because the one is the outcome and visible manifestation of the other. Cp. Psalms 71:2; Isaiah 45:21. There is a play in the Heb. on the words telland tale. They are derived from the same root, which, like tellin old English, means both to countand to recount. God's mercies are an inexhaustible theme. Cp. Psalms 40:5; Psalms 139:17-18.
