Psalms 70:1-5 - Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

This psalm continues David's supplications on the like occasion as above, which shows that we must repeat our prayers to God. It is taken almost verbatim from the fortieth psalm, and begins at the fifteenth verse.

Psalms 70:1-5

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to helpa 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 for a reward of 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.
