The title given Psalm 70 by King David is -To bring to Remembrance.- The titles of the Psalms have been attested to the High Priest Ezra.----According to the Hebrew Bible Ezra was a descendant of Seriaya the last High Priest to serve in the First Temple -2 Kings 25-18-, and a close relative of Joshua the first High Priest of the Second Temple -Ezra 7-1-. According to Ezra 7-10 he had prepared his heart to seek the Law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach it. The priests had carried the law and the Psalms of David to Babylon with them to study during the 70 years of captivity.----As such, Psalm 70 is a biblical invitation to the observance of the Lord's Supper. The Lord's Supper is a call to remembrance. Psalm 70 provides for us a more personal call to understand what is meant by the observance of the Lord's Supper. ----In verse 1 we see the pleading of King David. In verses 2-3 we see David's petition. In verse 4 we see King David's Passion. In verse 5 we again see the King's pleading.
