Psalm 70

Listen to This Article

We have here much the language of the closing verses of Psalm 40. And it is a suited utterance for the man of many, many sorrows, and might have been oft repeated. It has some connection also with the next Psalm. (See Psa. 70:2,²Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. (Psalm 70:2) and Psa. 71:13¹³Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt. (Psalm 71:13).)

We may remember, in connection with Psalm 70:3,³Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. (Psalm 70:3) the railing of Mark 15:29²⁹And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, (Mark 15:29).
