Commentary · verses 2-3
These two verses were also used in Psalm 40 -
"14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha."
4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Commentary · verse 4
David wanted his enemies turned back and dishonored. He wanted those who sought God to rejoice and be glad.
5But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.
5But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
Commentary · verse 5
We know David was not physically poor and needy. David went to God with the help he needed spiritually.
Psalms 66-70 covered five psalms that were either of unknown authorship or unknown circumstances in David's life, all of which spoke to being released from captivity.
Once again, David asked for a quick deliverance.
