Psalms 86:15 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Though the expressions be here somewhat varied from those in the fifth verse, yet the meaning is the same. And we find the blessed portion to which they refer, Exodus 34:6, and it is repeatedly used in the sacred word: Numbers 14:18; Jeremiah 32:18; Nehemiah 1:3, etc. Reader, for what are these frequent repetitions of this gracious proclamation of heaven, in the person of Christ, but to prompt the church, and every individual member of it, to make use of them by faith in Jesus? When God passed by, in the holy mount, and thus proclaimed himself, was it not to make all his goodness pass before Moses? And what is God's goodness towards men, but God, in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them?

Psalms 86:15

15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
