Psalm Ps. 70. This short psalm is an individual lament, an urgent prayer for rescue from gloating enemies. The psalm is very similar to 40:14–16. The title specifies the psalm as “for the memorial offering” (see note on Psalm 38).
Ps. 70:1–3 The threat comes from those who seek my life, who delight in my hurt, and who say, “Aha, Aha!” They are eager to hurt the faithful and then rejoice over their defeat. The enemies could be powerful, unfaithful Israelites, or they could be foreigners who seek to make God’s people worship other gods.
Ps. 70:4–5 Who seek you contrasts with “who seek my life” (v. 2). Hasten echoes “make haste” (v. 1), while help and deliverer look back to “deliver” and “help” (v. 1).
