George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 86:7

The dwelling, &c. Hebrew, "the singers, like people dancing, (for joy) all my fountains are in thee." St. Jerome reads, "strong ones," and (Haydock) others, "my thoughts," instead of "fountains;" which shews that they have read differently. Vesharim, may signify and princes, taken form the line above, though of this we ought to have some proofs from manuscripts, &c. (Berthier) --- The authority of the Septuagint may perhaps suffice, (Haydock) as they have read more correctly mauni,... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 86:1-7

1-7 Our poverty and wretchedness, when felt, powerfully plead in our behalf at the throne of grace. The best self-preservation is to commit ourselves to God's keeping. I am one whom thou favourest, hast set apart for thyself, and made partaker of sanctifying grace. It is a great encouragement to prayer, to feel that we have received the converting grace of God, have learned to trust in him, and to be his servants. We may expect comfort from God, when we keep up our communion with God. God's... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 86:8-17

8-17 Our God alone possesses almighty power and infinite love. Christ is the way and the truth. And the believing soul will be more desirous to be taught the way and the truth. And the believing soul will be more desirous to be taught the way and the truth of God, in order to walk therein, than to be delivered out of earthly distress. Those who set not the Lord before them, seek after believers' souls; but the compassion, mercy, and truth of God, will be their refuge and consolation. And those... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 86:1-17

David's Prayer in the Midst of Persecution. A prayer of David, the only hymn by the great king and prophet which was included by the collectors in this book of the psalter. We find here the same terms and phrases which are so familiar from the other psalms of David, particularly those written during the period of persecution. v. 1. Bow down Thine ear, in the attitude of the very closest attention, O Lord, hear me; for I am poor and needy. Cf Psalms 40:17. v. 2. Preserve my soul, in the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 86:1-5

Psalms A SHEAF OF PRAYER ARROWS Psa_86:1 - Psa_86:5 . We have here a sheaf of arrows out of a good man’s quiver, shot into heaven. This series of supplications is remarkable in more than one respect. They all mean substantially the same thing, but the Psalmist turns the one blessing round in all sorts of ways, so great does it seem to him, and so earnest is his desire to possess it. They are almost all quotations from earlier psalms, just as our prayers are often words of Scripture,... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 86:1-17

a Prayer to the God of Mercy Psalms 86:1-17 This psalm is largely composed of quotations. When the soul is in great need, it is not concerned with inventing new forms of address to God, but avails itself of well-known and well-worn phrases. Our Lord in Gethsemane “prayed the same words.” The background of the psalm is faith which reckons on God’s goodness. Thou art good , Psalms 86:5 ; thou art great , Psalms 86:10 ; thou art merciful and gracious , Psalms 86:15 . Be sure to build prayer... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 86:1-17

This psalm is peculiar in many ways. Its first peculiarity is that the name of God which dominates is Adonahy, or Lord, which indicates absolute Lordship, and by the use of which the singer shows his sense of submission and loyalty. The name Jehovah is used four times, thus revealing the singer’s sense of God as Helper; and the name God five times, thus revealing his consciousness of the Divine might. The supreme sense however, is that of the Divine authority. The next matter of special note... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 86:3

DAILY PRAYER‘I cry unto Thee daily.’Psalms 86:3 I. This is the only psalm in the third book ascribed to David.—It sounds like his. There is a lyric beauty and pathos about it which are so characteristic of his work. He speaks of himself in the second verse as ‘godly,’ not that he arrogated some special saintliness as his portion, but that he was conscious that his life was distinctly Godward and dependent on the supplies that God communicated. II. It is remarkable to contrast his statement... read more
