But I am poor and needy,.... In Psa 40:17 it follows, yet "the Lord thinketh on me"; instead of which it is here; see Gill on Psa 40:17; make haste unto me, O God; which repeats for sense the same petition as in Psa 71:1; thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying; in Psa 40:17 it is, "O my God".
