The images are only intended to provide resonances with some aspects of the psalm; they are not intended as a one-to-one correspondences. They are more like visual cross-references.

There is a close relationship between this psalm and the end of Psalm 40.
Due to the boundary mic settings there is what sounds like reverberation on the recording.

PSALM 70 7 6 7 6 D

1 Make haste, O God, to save me;
O LORD, come to my aid.
2 May those who seek to kill me
be utterly dismayed.
May all who seek my ruin
be turned back in disgrace,
3 And may all those who mock me
with shame their steps retrace.

4 But may all those who seek you
rejoice in you always;
May those who love salvation
say, “To our God be praise!”
5 Yet I am poor and needy;
come quickly, God, I pray.
You are my help and saviour;
O LORD, do not delay.
