Psalms 70:2

Let them be ashamed and confounded
In ( Psalms 40:14 ) it is added, "together"; (See Gill on Psalms 40:14);

that seek after my soul;
or "life"; in ( Psalms 40:14 ) it is added, "to destroy it"; for that was the end of their seeking after it;

let them be turned backward (See Gill on Psalms 40:14).

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

1 Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, LORD, to help me.

2 May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

3 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” turn back because of their shame.

4 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The LORD is great!”

5 But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; LORD, do not delay.
