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.
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay.
5 But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay!
5 But I've lost it. I'm wasted. God - quickly, quickly! Quick to my side, quick to my rescue! God, don't lose a minute.
5 But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay.
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy; please hurry to my aid, OÂ God. You are my helper and my savior; O Lord, do not delay.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 70:5
Chapter Contents
The speedy destruction of the wicked, and the preservation of the godly.
This psalm is almost the same as the last five verses of Psalm 40. While here we behold Jesus Christ set forth in poverty and distress, we also see him denouncing just and fearful punishment on his Jewish, heathen, and antichristian enemies; and pleading for the joy and happiness of his friends, to his Father's honour. Let us apply these things to our own troubled circumstances, and in a believing manner bring them, and the sinful causes thereof, to our remembrance. Urgent trials should always awake fervent prayers.
