Salmos 86:1-10

1 Inclina, Senhor, os teus ouvidos, e ouve-me, porque sou pobre e necessitado.

2 Preserva a minha vida, pois sou piedoso; o Deus meu, salva o teu servo, que em ti confia.

3 Compadece-te de mim, ó Senhor, pois a ti clamo o dia todo.

4 Alegra a alma do teu servo, pois a ti, Senhor, elevo a minha alma.

5 Porque tu, Senhor, és bom, e pronto a perdoar, e abundante em benignidade para com todos os que te invocam.

6 Dá ouvidos, Senhor, � minha oração, e atende � voz das minhas súplicas.

7 No dia da minha angústia clamo a ti, porque tu me respondes.

8 Entre os deuses nenhum há semelhante a ti, Senhor, nem há obras como as tuas.

9 Todas as nações que fizeste virão e se prostrarão diante de ti, Senhor, e glorificarão o teu nome.

10 Ensina-me, Senhor, o teu caminho, e andarei na tua verdade; dispõe o meu coração para temer o teu nome.

Salmos 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.
