P S A L M S PSALM LXXXVI. This psalm is entitled "a prayer of David;" probably it was not penned upon any particular occasion, but was a prayer he often used himself, and recommended to others for their use, especially in a day of affliction. Many think that David penned this prayer as a type of Christ, "who in the days of his flesh offered up strong cries," Hebrews 5:7 . David, in this prayer (according to the nature of that duty), I. Gives glory to God, Psalms 86:8-10 ; Psalms 86:12 ; Psalms 86:13 . II. Seeks for grace and favour from God, that God would hear his prayers ( Psalms 86:1 ; Psalms 86:6 ; Psalms 86:7 ), preserve and save him, and be merciful to him ( Psalms 86:2 ; Psalms 86:3 ; Psalms 86:16 ), that he would give him joy, and grace, and strength, and put honour upon him, Psalms 86:4 ; Psalms 86:11 ; Psalms 86:17 . He pleads God's goodness ( Psalms 86:5 ; Psalms 86:15 ) and the malice of his enemies, Psalms 86:14 . In singing this we must, as David did, lift up our souls to God with application. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-7" class="com-number"
