Psalms 86:2 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For I am holy— For I am thy favoured one. Mudge. For I am merciful. Green; which seems a very proper translation; and is as if the Psalmist had said, "Shew that mercy to me which I am so ready and willing to shew to others." It appears, however, from Psalms 16:10 that the same word is peculiarly appropriated to Christ, the Holy one of God: in which sense it may well be understood, according to what we have observed on the title.

Psalms 86:2

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