Psalms 70

Psalms 70THEME: Urgent cry for deliveranceThis is a lovely little psalm of David. Its contents can also be found in the last five verses of Psalm 40. One of the critics has said, “It is a fragment accidentally inserted here.” I will agree with the critic if he will take out the word accidentally. It is called a song of remembrance. Why repeat it here? Because my memory is not very good, and God knew it wouldn’t be. I can imagine that God said, “By the time McGee gets to this point in the Book of Psalms he will have forgotten all about Psalms 40, so I’ll repeat it.” There are some things to remember here.

Psalms 70:1

This is a cry for immediate help. I like that.

Psalms 70:5

I fall into that class of the poor and needy, and He wants me to know that He is my helper, my deliverer. My friend, God is for the poor and needy, and He is our helper in this day.
