RRB notes on Psalm 70

Psalms 70 KJV

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

1. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help 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. [a]

[a] Ezek. 25:3; Psa. 35:21, 40:15. (JD Note: See also Ezek. 26:2)

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.
