Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

70:1-5 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.

Pulpit Commentary

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. Psalm 40:16 has, "Let the Lord be magnified."

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Let all those that seek thee,.... The Targum is,

"that seek doctrine (or instruction) from thee.''

rejoice and be glad in thee; the Targum paraphrases it,

"rejoice and be glad in thy word.''

and let such as love thy salvation say continually, let God be magnified; the Targum is,

"let the glory of the Lord be increased;''

and in Psalm 40:16, instead of "God", it is "the Lord", or "Jehovah": See Gill on Psalm 40:16.
