Psalm 70

Psalm lxx. calls for only one remark. The willingness to be anything — poor, needy, despised — provided the people of God be happy and in a condition which draws forth their praise. The Lord’s blessing is not despised, but for it the Lord is waited for. But the heart set on the happiness and blessing of God’s people — this is the true spirit of faith in the saint.
