Psalm 70:1

1 God! Please hurry to my rescue! God, come quickly to my side!

Psalm 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).

Psalm 70:1 In-Context

1 God! Please hurry to my rescue! God, come quickly to my side!

2 Those who are out to get me - let them fall all over themselves. Those who relish my downfall - send them down a blind alley.

3 Give them a taste of their own medicine, those gossips off clucking their tongues.

4 Let those on the hunt for you sing and celebrate. Let all who love your saving way say over and over, "God is mighty!"

5 But I've lost it. I'm wasted. God - quickly, quickly! Quick to my side, quick to my rescue! God, don't lose a minute.
