Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
Psalms Ch.70 / 150 Ch.s
PS:70
* The speedy destruction of the wicked, and the preservation of
the godly.
- This psalm is almost the same as the last five verses of #Ps
40|. While here we behold Jesus Christ set forth in poverty and
distress, we also see him denouncing just and fearful punishment
on his Jewish, heathen, and antichristian enemies; and pleading
for the joy and happiness of his friends, to his Father's
honour. Let us apply these things to our own troubled
circumstances, and in a believing manner bring them, and the
sinful causes thereof, to our remembrance. Urgent trials should
always awake fervent prayers.
