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).

1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Make haste to help me, O Lord!

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded Who seek my life; Let them be turned back and confused Who desire my hurt.

3 Let them be turned back because of their shame, Who say, "Aha, aha!"

4 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And let those who love Your salvation say continually, "Let God be magnified!"

5 But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay.
