Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 86:12

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart - This is but carrying out the idea in the previous verse. He would give his whole heart to God.

He would withhold nothing from God.And I will glorify thy name for evermore - Not merely in the present emergency; but I will do it ever onward - even to eternity. The meaning is, that he would in all cases, and at all times - in this world and in the world to come - honor God. He would... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 86:13

For great is thy mercy toward me - In respect to me; or, Thou hast manifested great mercy to me; to wit, in past times. He makes use of this now as an argument or reason why God should interpose again.(a) He had shown on former occasions that he had power to save;(b) the fact that he had thus treated him as his friend was a reason why he should now befriend him.And thou hast delivered my soul - My life. The meaning is, that he had kept him alive in times of imminent danger. At the same time... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 86:8

Psalms 86:8. Among the gods The false gods, whom the heathen worship; there is none like unto thee None so wise, so mighty, so good; none so able and willing to hear and answer prayer. I am not now calling on a deaf and impotent idol, for then my prayers, however fervent and importunate, would be in vain, (as those of Baal’s worshippers were, 1 Kings 18:26,) but I am calling on the almighty and most gracious God. Neither are there any works like unto thy works This is an undeniable... read more

Psalms 86:9-10. All nations whom thou hast made For, as thou hast made them, thou canst easily convince and convert them to thyself; shall come and worship before thee Shall forsake their impotent idols, and shall worship thee alone: being enlightened by thy word and Spirit to see, and induced to own, that there is none like thee. This was, in part, fulfilled in the multitude of proselytes to the Jewish religion, in the days of David and Solomon, but it was to have its full accomplishment... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 86:1-17

Psalms 85-86 The steadfast love of GodIsrael had again suffered God’s punishment in being defeated by its enemies. The psalmist reminds God that when this happened in the past, God forgave his people and poured out his blessings on them afresh (85:1-3). Would he not, therefore, in the present crisis do the same once more (4-7)? The psalmist thinks longingly of the spiritual paradise that results when people are living in a right relation with their God. Steadfast love flows down from God and is... read more
