Psalm 86:1-10

Listen to Psalm 86:1-10
1 Ein Gebet Davids. HERR, neige deine Ohren und erhöre mich; denn ich bin elend und arm.
2 Bewahre meine Seele; denn ich bin heilig. Hilf du, mein Gott, deinem Knechte, der sich verläßt auf dich.
3 HERR, sei mir gnädig; denn ich rufe täglich zu dir!
4 Erfreue die Seele deines Knechtes; denn nach dir, HERR, verlangt mich.
5 Denn du, HERR, bist gut und gnädig, von großer Güte allen, die dich anrufen.
6 Vernimm, HERR, mein Gebet und merke auf die Stimme meines Flehens.
7 In der Not rufe ich dich an; du wollest mich erhören.
8 HERR, dir ist keiner gleich unter den Göttern, und ist niemand, der tun kann wie du.
9 Alle Heiden die du gemacht hast, werden kommen und vor dir anbeten, HERR, und deinen Namen ehren,
10 daß du so groß bist und Wunder tust und allein Gott bist.

Psalm 86:1-10 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.
