Verses 1-5

Psalm 70:1-5. This corresponds to Psalm 40:13-17 with a very few variations, as “turn back” (Psalm 70:3) for “desolate,” and “make haste unto me” (Psalm 70:5) for “thinketh upon me.” It forms a suitable appendix to the preceding, and is called “a Psalm to bring to remembrance,” as the thirty-eighth [see on Psalm 38:1, title].
