4 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, "The Lord is great!"
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.
4 May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, "God is great!"
4 Let those on the hunt for you sing and celebrate. Let all who love your saving way say over and over, "God is mighty!"
4 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And let those who love Your salvation say continually, "Let God be magnified!"
4 But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, "God is great!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 70:4
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.
