Psalms 70

1819–1905
Anglican
Verse 2

"Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt." — Psalms 70:2 (ASV)

There are two omissions here from Psalms 40:14, “together” and “to destroy it.”

Verse 4

"Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified." — Psalms 70:4 (ASV)

For a reward of ...Psalms 40:14, and put to shame. The change is probably a copyist’s error.

Verse 5

"But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying. " — Psalms 70:5 (ASV)

Make haste unto me, O God. —In Psalm 40:17, The Lord (Adonai) thinketh on me.
