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 <> Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD!

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and put to confusion that desire my hurt.

3 Let them be turned back as a reward for their shame that say, "Aha, aha!"

4 Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; and let such as love Thy salvation say continually, "Let God be magnified!"

5 But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
