Psalms 70:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 70:1

[Make haste], O God, to deliver me
The phrase, "make haste", is supplied from the following clause in ( Psalms 40:13 ) ; it is, "be pleased, O Lord", or "Jehovah". The Targum renders it, "to deliver us"; very wrongly;

make haste to help me, O Lord; (See Gill on Psalms 22:19).

Psalms 70:1 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!
