Psalm 86:8-11 NIV

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 86:11

Thy way; wherein thou wouldst have me to walk. As thou hast taught me by thy word, so also by thy Spirit enlighten my mind, that I may clearly discern thy will and my duty in all conditions and circumstances. In thy truth; in the way of thy precepts, which are true and right in all things, as he saith, Psalms 119:128, and the only true rule of thy worship, and the only true way to man’s happiness. Unite my heart, engage and knit my whole heart to thyself and service, and deliver me from... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 86:1-17

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“A Prayer of David.” Although this Psalm is not placed with the great body of David’s Psalms (1–70), there is no sufficient ground for disputing his authorship of it.Occasion.—Barnes says, “The occasion on which it was composed is unknown, but it has been commonly supposed that it was written in the time of the persecution under Saul.” But the opinion of Hengstenberg, that it was written during the dangers to which David was exposed by reason of the rebellion of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 86:9

Psalms 86:9 This Psalm is not usually numbered, but it might well be, amongst the penitential psalms. Its pensiveness is that of contrition. From the Divine attributes which it accentuates, and from its expressions, as well as from the tone that runs through it, we see a tender conscience, healed and lowly, sensible of fault, rejoicing in forgiveness. The Psalmist dwells on God's mercy, on His longsuffering, on His readiness to forgive, as only they dwell who have the broken and contrite heart.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 86:11

Psalms 86:11 This prayer begins with a general request, and then points it to a particular object: "Unite my heart" make it one; and for what? "to fear Thy name." I. "Unite my heart." Who that knows the fickleness and inconsistency of the human character, of his own character, will not join in this prayer? Anything is better for a man than a distracted, unharmonised, inconsistent character. To spend precious time in counteracting and crossing out ourselves is more than any of us can afford in... read more

DISCOURSE: 645HOW TO WALK WITH GODPsalms 86:11. Teach me thy way, O Lord! I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.IN mercy, no less than in judgment, does God see fit to afflict his people: he does it “for their profit, that they may in a more abundant measure be partakers of his holiness [Note: Hebrews 12:10.].” And when we are brought nigh to him by means of our afflictions, then have they answered the great end for which they were sent.David was a man who enjoyed much... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 86:1-17

Title. A prayer of David. All antiquity, and all the versions, support this title. Psalms 86:2 . I am holy, I have not done any wrong to Saul, nor to Absalom, nor indeed to any of the families which have followed the house of Saul. Having received a special anointing, he was “holy;” and it was David’s great concern to live in holy communion and fellowship with God. Psalms 86:8 . Among the gods, the kings and princes of the gentiles, there is none like thee. I therefore seek help from... read more
