Psalm 70<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> (cf. <\/span>Psalm 40.13-17<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n

Psalm 70 and Psalm 40.13\u201317 are basically the same. There are slight variations. This has happened with Psalm 53<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Psalm 14<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.The superscription is the first to stand out. Psalm 70 adds the words “for the memorial offering,” which occurs elsewhere only in the superscription for <\/span>Psalm 38<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> (see our study<\/a>). This psalm is also like Psalm 9 in that the psalm that follows has no heading, which lead some to believe that, like Psalm 9 and Psalm 10, Psalm 70 and Psalm 71 belong together (see our study on <\/span>Psalm 9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Psalm 10<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>). The other main difference, like Psalm 53 and Psalm 14, is that of changing the name for the covenant God of Israel\u00a0(Jehovah\u00a0[\u05d9\u05b0\u05bd\u05d4\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4])<\/span> in the first and last verse to the universal God of creation (Elohim\u00a0[\u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd])<\/span><\/span>David\u2019s call in this psalm can be outlined as follows:<\/p>\n
