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).

3 Let those who make fun of me stop because of their shame.

4 But let all those who worship you rejoice and be glad. Let those who love your salvation always say, "Praise the greatness of God."

5 I am poor and helpless; God, hurry to me. You help me and save me. Lord, do not wait.
