Bible Comments

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me - and therefore will care for me (1 Peter 5:7), and supply my needs out of the riches of His grace. Compare Psalms 40:5, "thy thoughts which are to us-ward."

Make no tarrying, O my God - (Psalms 70:5.) God tarries not a moment beyond the right time for interposing in His people's behalf (Habakkuk 2:3; 2 Peter 3:9; Luke 12:45).
