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 Come quickly to rescue me, O God! Come quickly to help me, O LORD!

2 Let those who seek my life be confused and put to shame. Let those who want my downfall be turned back and disgraced.

3 Let those who say, "Aha! Aha!" be turned back because of their own shame.

4 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "God is great!"

5 But I am oppressed and needy. O God, come to me quickly. You are my help and my savior. O LORD, do not delay!
