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 God, come quickly and save me. Lord, hurry to help me.

2 Let those who are trying to kill me be ashamed and disgraced. Let those who want to hurt me run away in disgrace.

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.
