Introduction
PSALM 70
THE ARGUMENT
The contents of this Psalm are almost all to be found Psalms 40:13, &c. 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 Psalms 40:0, 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 "Psalms 40:1", etc.
David prayeth to God for speedy help, to the shame of his enemies, Psalms 70:1-3, the joy of the godly, and the magnifying of his name, Psalms 70:4,Psalms 70:5.
