Psalms 70 - Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

BOOK II. PSS. XLII.- LXXII.

Psalms 42-83 are Elohistic, i.e. they use the word God (Elohim) and avoid the proper name Yahweh, probably from motives of reverence. Here and there, however, the name Yahweh has crept into the text by a natural slip of the scribes.

LXX. See Psalms 40:14-17.
