Psalms 70:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 70:4

Let all those that seek thee
The Targum is,

``that seek doctrine (or instruction) from thee.''

rejoice and be glad in thee;
the Targum paraphrases it,

``rejoice and be glad in thy word.''

and let such as love thy salvation say continually, let God be
magnified;

``let the glory of the Lord be increased;''

and in ( Psalms 40:16 ) , instead of "God", it is "the Lord", or "Jehovah": (See Gill on Psalms 40:16).

1 Hurry, God, to deliver me; hurry, LORD, to help me!
2 Let those who seek my life be ashamed and humiliated! Let them fall back and be disgraced— those people who delight in my downfall!
3 Let those who say, "Aha! Aha!" stop because of their shameful behavior.
4 But let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you, and let those who love your saving help say again and again: "God is great!"
