 The Triumph of Camillus (1470-1475) Biagio d'Antonio Tucci (1446-1516) Italian Renaissance Style National Gallery of Art, Washington, D. C., USA Image Source: Web Gallery of Art [ Illustration: Camillus and his troops, in the painting above, saved the Roman government from destruction by its enemies. Likewise, God used military means as part of his means of delivering David from his enemies. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Psalm 70, is David's prayer for deliverance for himself and for all who seek God, and for judgment upon those who seek to hurt him. It is almost identical to the latter part of Psalm 40 (see the link in the next section). The occasion for the Psalm is unknown; but the two most troublesome times in David's life came at the hands of Saul and of Absalom. David's reign as king was threatened twice -- by Saul before David could take office, and by Absalom after David had been on the throne for many years. In both cases, God used military means as part of the rescue which he sent to David. The Psalm is Chiastic (elements in the first part repeat in reverse order in the second part) and Imprecatory ("cursing"). See the links in the section titled "Thematically and Chronologically Related Scriptures" for additional information. PLEA FOR GOD'S HELP. David pleads with the LORD to send help quickly (1). CURSES FOR GOD'S ENEMIES. He asks that those who seek to destroy his soul will be ashamed, confounded, confused, and turned back. But he asks that those who seek God and who rejoice in his salvation will be glad so that they might magnify (or increase the reputation of) God (2-3). BLESSINGS FOR GOD'S SERVANTS. But he asks that those who seek God and who rejoice in his salvation will be glad so that they might magnify (or increase the reputation of) God (4). PLEA FOR GOD'S HELP. David closes, as he began, with a plea for God to deliver him quickly because he is poor and needy (5). NOTE.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms. Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth"). It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments"). I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
