May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!”
This psalm is simply the fortieth psalm cut down to five verses and fitted for some particular occasion. I will not repeat myself here; look to my commentary on Psalm 40 for the full interpretation.

Commenting on Psalm 70:1-5
Joy in God's mercy is far worthier than the jeering bark of enemies. True seekers, though they begin in darkness, shall find light; those who love His salvation will not merely feel joy but proclaim it, telling all men to magnify God, which is infinitely more manly than any empty taunt.
AI summary
David prays God to make haste, speaking from poverty and need. Poverty is a strong plea before a God of mercy who fills the hungry with good things. He asks God to deliver him from trouble, sustain him under it, and do both quickly, for God sometimes delays to stir up earnest desire in His people.
