Psalm 86
|
|
| 86:1
Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. |
|
| 86:2
Preserve my soul; for I
am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. |
Rev.15:4 says
that only God is holy. But the psalmist (David?) thinks that he is
holy too.
Is only God holy?
|
| 86:3
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
|
| 86:4
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my
soul. |
|
| 86:5
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy
unto all them that call upon thee. |
Is God merciful?
|
| 86:6
Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my
supplications. |
|
| 86:7
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. |
|
| 86:8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any
works like unto thy works. |
"Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord"
How many gods are there?
|
| 86:9
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O
Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
|
| 86:10
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. |
|
| 86:11
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear
thy name. |
|
| 86:12
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify
thy name for evermore. |
|
| 86:13
For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the
lowest hell. |
|
| 86:14
O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men
have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. |
|
| 86:15
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long
suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. |
|
| 86:16
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy
servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. |
|
| 86:17
Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be
ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
