Psalms 70 Matthew Poole

Introduction

The Argument

The contents of this Psalm are almost all to be found Psalm 40.13, etc. 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 joined with many other passages in Psalm 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 See Poole Psalm 40.1, etc.

David prayeth to God for speedy help, to the shame of his enemies, Psalm 70.1-3, the joy of the godly, and the magnifying of his name, Psalm 70.4,5.
