Psalms 86:1,2 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

I pause at the close of these verses, though thereby a chasm is made in the prayer, to call the Reader's attention to what this petitioner said in it, where the great argument made use of is, that he is holy. Can anything more pointedly prove that this is Christ? David never, in any period of his life, could make use of such language: and none but He, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens, could adopt the expression. The same word here rendered holy is used in direct application to Christ, Psalms 16:10.

Psalms 86:1-2

1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy:a O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
