[Psalms 70:1](../../../kjv/psalms/70/1) « To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance. » [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
**A Psalm of David** ] Made, likely, or rather made use of from [Psalms 40:14-15](../../../kjv/psalms/40/14-15) , &c., when Sheba, the son of Bichri, was up in rebellion after Absalom’s death, [2 Samuel 20:1](../../../kjv/2-samuel/20/1) , &c. See [Psalms 69:1](../../../kjv/psalms/69/1) , title.
****
**To briny to remembrance** ] Worthy to be remembered, and followed as a pattern of prayer. Some make this psalm an appendix to the former, as [Psalms 43:1-5](../../../kjv/psalms/43/1-5) ., is to [Psalms 42:1-11](../../../kjv/psalms/42/1-11) . Others make it a part of the next psalm; which is, therefore, say they, without a title.
****
Ver. 1. **Make haste, O God, to deliver me** ] As a father runs without legs when his child is hazarded.

Psa 70:2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
Ver. 2. **Let them be ashamed** ] See [Psalms 40:14](../../../kjv/psalms/40/14) ; [Psalms 35:26-27](../../../kjv/psalms/35/26-27) .

Psa 70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
Ver. 3. **Let them be turned back for a reward** ] *Vel sicut per insidias vel supplantationem, more athletarum,* a עקב , Let them be supplanted, defeated.
****
**That say, Aha, aha** ] Augustine rendereth it, *Euge, Euge,* that is, Well done; and giveth this note upon it, *Plus persequitur lingua adulatoris quam manus interfectoris,* The tongue of a flatterer may mischief a man more than the hand of a murderer. The apostle, [Hebrews 11:37](../../../kjv/hebrews/11/37) , ranketh their tempting and flattering promises among their bloody deeds, their rising tongues with their terrifying jaws.

Psa 70:4 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.
Ver. 4. **Let all those that seek thee, &c.** ] *Piorum characteres,* saith one, a godly man characterized, by his search after God, his joy in him, his love to him, his praises of him.
****
**Let God be magnified** ] *In illo quicquid ego; ille, non ego,* saith Augustine.

Psa 70:5 But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
Ver. 5. **But I am poor and needy** ] See [Psalms 69:29](../../../kjv/psalms/69/29) , *See Trapp on "* Psa 69:29 *"*
