Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

86:1-7 Our poverty and wretchedness, when felt, powerfully plead in our behalf at the throne of grace. The best self-preservation is to commit ourselves to God's keeping. I am one whom thou favourest, hast set apart for thyself, and made partaker of sanctifying grace. It is a great encouragement to prayer, to feel that we have received the converting grace of God, have learned to trust in him, and to be his servants. We may expect comfort from God, when we keep up our communion with God. God's goodness appears in two things, in giving and forgiving. Whatever others do, let us call upon God, and commit our case to him; we shall not seek in vain.


Psalm 4:3 But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself; The LORD hears when I call to Him.
Psalm 25:2 O my God, in You I trust, Do not let me be ashamed; Do not let my enemies exult over me.
Psalm 25:20 Guard my soul and deliver me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You.
Psalm 31:14 But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD, I say, "You are my God."
Psalm 50:5 "Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice."
Psalm 56:4 In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me? (NASB ©1995)
