A Successful Pleader

But I am poor and needy:
make haste unto me, O God:

Thou art my help and my deliverer;

O Lord, make no tarrying.

Psalm 70:5

"In our text we have the soul of a successful pleader under four aspects: we view,

--first, the soul confessing: "I am poor and needy."
--You have next, the soul pleading, for he makes a plea out of his poor condition, and adds, "Make haste unto me, O God!"
--You see, thirdly, a soul in it's urgency, for he cries, "Make haste," and he varies the expression but keeps the same idea: "Make no tarrying."
--And you have in the fourth and last view, a soul grasping God, for the psalmist puts it thus: "Thou art my help and my deliverer"; thus with both hands he lays hold upon His God, so as not to let Him go till a blessing is obtained."
