May my plea
The word "plea" in Hebrew is "תְּחִנָּה" (teḥinnah), which signifies a supplication or earnest request. This term is often used in the context of prayer, emphasizing a deep, heartfelt appeal to God. The psalmist's use of "plea" indicates a personal and urgent request, reflecting a relationship with God that is intimate and trusting. Historically, the act of making a plea before a king or deity was a common practice in ancient Near Eastern cultures, signifying humility and dependence on the one being petitioned.

come before You
The phrase "come before You" suggests an audience with God, akin to entering the presence of a sovereign. In the Hebrew context, this implies not just physical proximity but also spiritual readiness and sincerity. The psalmist desires that his plea be heard and accepted by God, highlighting the belief that God is accessible and attentive to the cries of His people. This reflects the biblical theme of God's omnipresence and His willingness to engage with humanity.

deliver me
The Hebrew root for "deliver" is "נָצַל" (natsal), which means to rescue, save, or snatch away. This term is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe God's intervention in times of trouble. The psalmist's request for deliverance underscores a reliance on God's power and faithfulness. It is a call for divine intervention, trusting that God will act in accordance with His character and promises. Historically, deliverance is a recurring theme in the Bible, from the Exodus to the deliverance from personal trials.

according to Your word
The phrase "according to Your word" emphasizes the psalmist's confidence in God's promises as revealed in Scripture. The Hebrew term for "word" is "דָּבָר" (dabar), which can refer to a spoken word, command, or promise. This reflects the belief that God's word is trustworthy and authoritative. The psalmist appeals to God's revealed will and character, trusting that God will act in alignment with His covenantal promises. This phrase highlights the importance of Scripture as the foundation for faith and prayer, encouraging believers to align their requests with God's revealed truth.

Verse 170. - Let my supplication come before thee. A repetition of the "cry" in the preceding verse, which is distinctly shown by the next clause to be a cry for deliverance - Deliver me according to thy Word; or, "according to thy promise" (imrathka). God had "promised" to deliver all those who in the day of trouble should call upon him (Psalm 50:15; Psalm 91:15).
