Psalms 70

The Contents of this Psalm, are almost all to be found, Psal. 40. 13. &c. Nor is it strange that they are here repeated, because the same or like Occasions were oft repeated; and David's returning Distresses, might well make him sometimes repeat the same Words. And as these things were joyned with many other passages, in Psal. 40. so they are distinctly repeated, as a Form of Prayer, which himself or others, might use in such a Condition. What is necessary for the understanding of this Psalm: The Reader may find in the Notes, on Psal. 40.

MAke hast, O God, to deliver me: make hast to help me, O LORD.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame, that say, Aha, Aha.

Let those that seek thee rejoyce, and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation, say continually, Let God be magnified.

But I am poor and needy, make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer, O LORD, make no tarrying.
