Psalms 70:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying. But I am poor and needy - עני ואביון ani veebyon, I am a poor man, and a beggar - an afflicted beggar; a sense of my poverty causes me to beg.

Thou art my help - I know thou hast enough, and to spare; and therefore I come to thee.

Make no tarrying - My wants are many, my danger great, my time short. O God, delay not!
