Psalms 86:1 «A Prayer of David. » Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I [am] poor and needy.
A prayer] Left for a form, for a help to devotion, as was also Psa 102:1 title.
Ver. 1. Bow down thine ear, O Lord] As the careful Physician doth to his feeble patient; so Basil glosseth here.
For I am poor and needy] Having nothing to live on but what my friends privately send me, or what I can get by plundering from the Lord's enemies, 1 Samuel 30:26 .
