Psalms 70 — Tyndale Study Notes
Ps.69.1-72.20
These last four psalms of Book Two contrast with the psalms describing God’s mighty acts in creation and in redemption, capped by God’s march to Zion (Pss 65–68). Psalms 69–71 portray the king’s anguish, and Ps 72 responds with a prayer for God to bless the king.
Ps.70.1-5
This psalm, nearly identical to 40:13-17, contains an urgency (70:1, 5) that fits with the surrounding psalms (cp. 69:17; 71:12).
Ps.70.1
title asking God to remember him: The meaning of this phrase is unknown (also found in 38:title).
