Psalm 70

Psalm 70 (King James Version)

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.

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.

My deep abiding hope, prayer and consolation remains forever in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God will hear my prayer and my cry from afar, and be a light and lump unto my path in the midst of discouragement. Great is thy faithfulness Oh Lord! You are the author and perfector of my faith.

Matthew Henry's commentary.
