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).

Psalms 70:1 In-Context

1 For the leader. By David. As a reminder: God, rescue me! ADONAI, hurry and help me!

2 May those who seek my life be disgraced and humiliated. May those who take pleasure in doing me harm be turned back and put to confusion.

3 May those who jeer, "Aha! Aha!"withdraw because of their shame.

4 But may all those who seek you be glad and take joy in you. May those who love your salvation say always, "God is great and glorious!"

5 But I am poor and needy; God, hurry for me. You are my helper and rescuer; ADONAI, don't delay!
