Salmos 86:1-9

1 Inclina, oh SEÑOR, tu oído y respóndeme, porque estoy afligido y necesitado.

2 Guarda mi alma, pues soy piadoso; tú eres mi Dios; salva a tu siervo que en ti confía.

3 Ten piedad de mí, oh Señor, porque a ti clamo todo el día.

4 Alegra el alma de tu siervo, porque a ti, oh Señor, elevo mi alma.

5 Pues tú, Señor, eres bueno y perdonador, abundante en misericordia para con todos los que te invocan.

6 Escucha, oh SEÑOR, mi oración, y atiende a la voz de mis súplicas.

7 En el día de la angustia te invocaré, porque tú me responderás.

8 No hay nadie como tú entre los dioses, oh Señor, ni hay obras como las tuyas.

9 Todas las naciones que tú has hecho vendrán y adorarán delante de ti, Señor, y glorificarán tu nombre.

Salmos 86:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 86

\\<>\\. The title is the same with the Seventeenth Psalm, and the subject of it is much alike: it was written by David, when in distress, and his life was sought after; very likely when he was persecuted by Saul, and fled from him; so Aben Ezra, Jarchi, and Kimchi: and as he was a type of Christ in his afflictions, as well as in his exalted state, it may not be unfitly applied to him, as it is by some interpreters. The Syriac inscription of it is, ``for David, when he built an house for the Lord; and a prophecy of the calling of the Gentiles; and moreover, a prayer of a peculiar righteous man.'' Theodoret thinks it predicts the siege of Jerusalem by the Assyrians, and Hezekiah's hope in God.
