Psalms 70:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 70:5

But I [am] poor and needy
In ( Psalms 40:17 ) it follows, yet "the Lord thinketh on me"; instead of which it is here, (See Gill on Psalms 40:17);

make haste unto me, O God;
which repeats for sense the same petition as in ( Psalms 71:1 ) ;

thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying;
in ( Psalms 40:17 ) it is, "O my God".

Psalms 70:5 In-Context

1 Save me, O God! Lord, help me now!

2 May those who try to kill me be defeated and confused. May those who are happy because of my troubles be turned back and disgraced.

3 May those who make fun of me be dismayed by their defeat.

4 May all who come to you be glad and joyful. May all who are thankful for your salvation always say, "How great is God!"

5 I am weak and poor; come to me quickly, O God. You are my savior and my Lord - hurry to my aid!
