Verses 4-5
2. A prayer for God’s glory 70:4-5
As a result of God’s deliverance, other righteous people would glorify God and rejoice in Him. The psalm ends as it began: with a request for fast relief. David was stressing how desperately he needed God’s assistance by beginning and ending the psalm with these petitions.
Sometimes, when believers are under attack by others who oppose God’s will, all they can do is cry out to God for help (cf. Nehemiah 2:4-5). Even in brief prayers such as this, we should base our petitions on God’s glory, as this psalmist did.
