May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, "God is great!" 5 But as for me, I am poor and needy; please hurry to my aid, O God. You are my helper and my savior; O Lord , do not delay.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let all those that seek thee,.... The Targum is,

"that seek doctrine (or instruction) from thee.''

rejoice and be glad in thee; the Targum paraphrases it,

"rejoice and be glad in thy word.''

and let such as love thy salvation say continually, let God be magnified; the Targum is,

"let the glory of the Lord be increased;''

and in Psalms 40:16, instead of "God", it is "the Lord", or "Jehovah":

Psalms 40:16- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Let all those that seek thee ... - The only change in this verse from Psalms 40:16, is in the insertion of the word “and” in the beginning of the second clause - “and let such as love,” etc.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 70:4. Let God be magnified. — Let his glory, mercy, and kindness, continually appear in the increase of his own work in the souls of his followers!
