Bible Comments

PSALM 86 When he was in some deep distress, either from Saul, or by Absalom, or upon some other occasion. David strengtheneth himself in prayer by the truth of his religion, Psalms 86:1-4, and by God's goodness and his readiness to hear, Psalms 86:5-10; desireth the continuance of his grace, Psalms 86:11-13. Complaining of his proud enemies, he entreateth for some token of his love, to their shame and confusion, Psalms 86:14-17. Forsaken and persecuted by men, and utterly unable to save myself, and therefore a very proper object for thy power and goodness to work upon.

Psalms 86:1

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