John Trapp on Psalms 71:1

PSAL. LXXI.

VErſ. 1. In thee; O Lord, do I put my truſts] See Pſal. 31.1. with the Note. It appeareth by verſ. 9.18. that this Pſalm was written by David in his old age, when Abſolom, or Sheba was in rebellion againſt him, though haply for haſte, and in that fright he could not ſuperſcribe it as he did the reſt. The Greek title, viz. of David, A Pſalm of the Sons of Jonadab, and of them that were firſt captived, hath no footing in the Original Hebrew.
