Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 71:18

18 Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God forsake me not: until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come .

Either, 1. This further Act, or instance of thy strength. [illegible: 1+ letters]r rather, 2. Thy great Power, which will more Eminently appear in this, than it hath done in former Deliverances, as my Danger is now greater, because this is a Civil War, and the Generality of mine own People are ingaged against me, and my Forces are very inconsiderable to theirs, and without thy Help, my Case is desperate.

(i. e.) To all succeeding Generations, to whom I will leave a lasting Monument of this glorious Example, of al-sufficiency, such as this Psalm is.

Marginal references: Heb. unto old Age, and gray H[illegible: 1+ letters]s.; Heb. thine [illegible: 1 word].
