Definitions for Psalms 70:1

Haste - To hurry; to urge on quickly.

Clarke's Psalms 70:1 Bible Commentary

Make haste to help me - I am in extreme distress, and the most imminent danger. Haste to help me, or I am lost.

Barnes's Psalms 70:1 Bible Commentary

Make haste - These words are supplied by our translators. The first word in Psalm 40:13, rendered "be pleased," is here omitted in the original. The psalm in the Hebrew begins abruptly - "O God, to deliver me," - leaving the impression that this is a fragment - a fragment commencing without even the care necessary to make the grammatical construction complete.

O God - Hebrew, אלהים 'Elohiym. In the corresponding place in Psalm 40:13 the word is "Yahweh." Why the change was made is unknown. The remainder of the verse is the same as in Psalm 40.
