Bible Comments

Psalms 70:1 «To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance. » [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

A Psalm of David] Made, likely, or rather made use of from Psalms 40:14,15, &c., when Sheba, the son of Bichri, was up in rebellion after Absalom's death, 2 Samuel 20:1, &c. See Psalms 69:1, title.

To briny to remembrance] Worthy to be remembered, and followed as a pattern of prayer. Some make this psalm an appendix to the former, as Psalms 43:1,5 ., is to Psalms 42:1,11. Others make it a part of the next psalm; which is, therefore, say they, without a title.

Ver. 1. Make haste, O God, to deliver me] As a father runs without legs when his child is hazarded.
