F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 70:1-5

“My Help and My Deliverer” Psalms 70:1-5 This psalm repeats the closing verses of Psalms 40:1-17 . It is a song of remembrance to remind Jehovah of His suffering ones. See Isaiah 43:26 ; Isaiah 62:6-7 . Psalms 70:1 God’s help is often delayed till the morning-watch, but it is never too late. He is hastening on the wings of the wind and walking across the waves to the tossing boat. Psalms 70:2-3 . Wicked spirits, as well as evil men, seek after our soul to destroy it. But our shame would be ... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 70:1-5

This short psalm is a rushing sob of anxious solicitude. There is little restfulness in it. Enemies are engaged in cruel persecution and mockery. It seems as though the singer felt that the strain was becoming too much for him, and in fear lest he should be overcome he cries aloud for God to hasten to his deliverance. The faith of the singer is evident in that he cries to God, and evidently has no room in his heart to question God's ability to keep him. The only question is whether help will... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 70:1-5

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the chief musician, a psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.” “To the chief musician.” (See introduction to Psalms 57:0). “To bring to remembrance.” Barnes: “The Hebrew term used—לְהַזְכִּיר, lehazkir—means limply for bringing to remembrance, or for reminding. The meaning is, that it is a record for the purpose of reminding; that is, of keeping up the remembrance of something which had occurred in his own experience, and which might be useful to himself or to... read more

DISCOURSE: 614THE CHRISTIAN’S FRAME OF MINDPsalms 70:4-5. 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. But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Lord, make no tarrying.THIS psalm is entitled “A psalm to bring to remembrance.” What were the things to which David more especially referred, we do not certainly know.

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Psalms 70:4

Our Watchword October 1st, 1871 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified." Psalms 70:4 . These words occur at least three times in the book of Psalms, and therefore we may regard them as especially important. When God speaks once, twice, thrice, he doth as it were awaken us to peculiar attention, and call for prompt obedience to what he saith. Let us not be deaf to the divine voice, but let each one say, "Speak Lord, for thy servant... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 70:1-5

Psalms 70:1-5 The seventieth psalm:Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD ( Psalms 70:1 ).I can identify with that prayer. God seems to move so slowly at times when I am in trouble and I want God to hurry. Make haste, O God, to help me.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 ( Psalms 70:2-3 ).Now, there is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 70:1-5

This psalm continues David’s supplications on the like occasion as above, which shows that we must repeat our prayers to God. It is taken almost verbatim from the fortieth psalm, and begins at the fifteenth verse. read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 70:1-5

Psalms 70:1-5Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.A pattern suppliantIt is the “fervent” prayer that is effectual, and “effectual” prayer that “availeth much.” Importunity prevails where indifference fails. This prayer not only expresses fervour, but likewise expectation; faith’s vision was strong, and confidence was unwaveringly vigorous; so that no sooner had the request gone up from David’s soul to the “Court of Heaven,” than he expected to see the Lord hasting to... read more
