Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 71:1

"In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame." — Psalms 71:1 (ASV)

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust - See the notes at Psalms 25:2. Compare Psalms 22:4-5; Psalms 31:1.

Let me never be put to confusion - Let me never be ashamed; that is, Let me not be so disappointed in the trust that I repose in you as to have occasion to feel ashamed that I have done it.
