Tehillim 70:1

1 0 (For the one directing. Mizmor of Dovid. For the memorial portion of the minchah) Make haste, Elohim, to deliver me; make haste to help me, Hashem.

Tehillim 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).

23 (3) Let them have bushah and be confounded that seek my nefesh; let them be turned back, and be put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

34 (4) Let them be turned back for a reward of their bushah that say, Aha, aha.

45 (5) Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and have simcha in Thee; and let such as love Thy Yeshuah (salvation) say continually, Let Elohim be magnified.

56 (6) But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, Elohim; Thou art my help and my deliverer. Hashem, make no delay.
