Psalms 86:11 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

Ver. 11. Teach me thy way] David knew much of God, and yet he desireth to be taught more; delivering himself up to God's discipline, and saying, as once Solon did,

γηρασκω δε αιει πολλα διδασκομενος

Unite my heart to fear thy name] i.e. To serve thee with simplicity and godly sincerity, 2 Corinthians 1:12, cleaving to thee with full purpose of heart, Acts 11:23, and attending upon thee without distraction, 1 Corinthians 7:35. As thou art God alone, Psa 86:10 so let my heart be toward thee alone. Behold, I find it divided, disjointed, and so disabled for duty (for anima dispersa fit minor), Oh do thou unite it, I beseech thee, giving me that one heart thou hast promised, until we all come unto that oneness of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, &c., Ephesians 4:13 .
