1、TREASURY OF DAVIDPSALM 86C.H. SpurgeonPsalms 86:1 (PSALMS)PSALM 86TITLE. A Prayer of David. We have here one of the five psalms entitled Tephillahs or prayers. This psalm consists of praise as well as prayer, but it is in all parts so directly addressed to God that it is most fitly called a prayer.

2、A prayer is none the less but all the more a prayer because veins of praise run through it. This psalm would seem to have been specially known as Davids prayer; even as the ninetieth is the prayer of Moses. David posed it, and no doubt often expressed himself in similar language; both the matter and

3、 the wording are suitable to his varied circumstances and expressive of the different characteristics of his mind. In many respects it resembles Ps 17:1-15, which bears the same title, but in other aspects it is very different; the prayers of a good man have a family likeness, but they vary as much

4、as they agree. We may learn from the present psalm that the great saints of old were accustomed to pray very much in the same fashion as we do; believers in all ages are of one genus. The name of God occurs very frequently in this psalm, sometimes it is Jehovah, but more momly Adonai, which it is be

5、lieved by many learned scholars was written by the Jewish transcribers instead of the sublimer title, because their superstitious dread led them to do so: we, labouring under no such tormenting fear, rejoice in Jehovah, our God. It is singular that those who were so afraid of their God, that they da

6、red not write his name, had yet so little godly fear, that they dared to alter his word. DIVISION. The psalm is irregular in its construction but may be divided into three portions, each ending with a note of gratitude or of confidence: we shall therefore read from Ps 86:1-7, and then, (after anothe

7、r pause at the end of Ps 86:13), we will continue to the end. EXPOSITION.Ver. 1. Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me. In condescension to my littleness, and in pity to my weakness, bow down thine ear, O Lord. When our prayers are lowly by reason of our humility, or feeble by reason of our sickness,

8、or without wing by reason of our despondency, the Lord will bow down to them, the infinitely exalted Jehovah will have respect unto them. Faith, when she has the loftiest name of God on her tongue, and calls him Jehovah, yet dares to ask from him the most tender and condescending acts of love. Great

9、 as he is he loves his children to be bold with him. For I am poor and needy doubly a son of poverty, because, first, poor and without supply for my needs, and next needy, and so full of wants, though unable to supply them. Our distress is a forcible reason for our being heard by the Lord God, merci

10、ful, and gracious, for misery is ever the master argument with mercy. Such reasoning as this would never be adopted by a proud man, and when we hear it repeated in the public congregation by those great ones of the earth who count the peasantry to be little better than the earth they tread upon, it

11、sounds like a mockery of the Most High. Of all despicable sinners those are the worst who use the language of spiritual poverty while they think themselves to be rich and increased in goods. EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.Title. The prophet David has penned two psalms, which he has eminently a

12、ppropriated to himself as his own: the one is styled Davids prayer, though many other psalms are prayersit is Ps 86:1-17; the other Davids praise, Ps 145:1-21. The first his tephilla, the latter his tehilla; in each of these he makes a solemn rehearsal of the very words of Moses, in Ex 34:6-7. In Ps

13、 86:1-17 he brings them in as they were a support unto his faith in his distresses from sins and miseries, to which use he puts them, Ps 86:3-4 6-7. And again, Ps 86:16-17, he makes a plea of these words by way of prayer. In Ps 145:1-21, he brings them in as they are an elogium or celebration of the

14、 glorious nature and excellencies of God, to excite the sons of men to love and praise him. Thomas Goodwin.Title. This Psalm was published under the title of APrayer of David; not as if David sung all his prayers, but into some of his songs he inserted prayers; for a psalm will admit the expression

15、of any pious and devout affections. But it is observable how very plain the language of this psalm is, and how little there is in it of poetical flights or figures, in parison with some other psalms; for the flourishes of wit are not the proper ornaments of prayer. Matthew Henry.Title. There was muc

16、h, very much, of Gods peculiar character, his glorious name, brought to view in the close of the last Psalm. This may account for its being followed by another, APrayer of David, almost equally full of the character of Jehovah. The key note of this Psalm is Jehovahs name. Andrew A. Bonar.Whole Psalm

17、. Christ prays throughout the whole of this Psalm. All the words are spoken exclusively by Christ, who is both God and man. Psalt. Cassiodori, 1491. Whole Psalm. In this Psalm Christ the Son of God and Son of Man, one God with the Father, one man with men, to whom we pray as God, prays in the form o

18、f a servant. For he prays for us, and he prays in us, and he is prayed to by us. He prays for us as our Priest. He prays in us as our Head. He is prayed to by us as our God. Psalt. Pet. Lombard. 1474. Ver. 1. Bow down thine ear, O Lord. As the careful physician doth to his feeble patient: so Basil g

19、losseth here. John Trapp.Ver. 1-4. Poor, holy, trusteth, I cry. The petitioner is first described as poor, then holy, next trusting, after that crying, finally, lifted up to God. And each epithet has its fitting verb; bow down to the poor, preserve the holy, save the trusting, be merciful to him who

20、 cries, rejoice the lifted up. It is the whole gamut of love from the Incarnation to the Ascension; it tells us that Christs humiliation will be our glory and joy. Neale and Littledales mentary.HINTS TO THE VILLAGE PREACHER.Ver. 1.1. A singular requestthat the Lord should bow his ear. 2. A singular

21、pleaI am poor and needy.3. The singular grace of God will answer the request, because singular grace has made the petitioner feel his need. Psalms 86:2 (PSALMS)EXPOSITION.Ver. 2. Preserve my soul. Let my life be safe from my enemies, and my spiritual nature be secure from their temptations. He feels

22、 himself unsafe except he be covered by the divine protection. For I am holy. I am set apart for holy uses, therefore do not let thine enemies mit a sacrilege by injuring or defiling me: I am clear of the crimes laid to my charge, and in that sense innocent; therefore, I beseech thee, do not allow m

23、e to suffer from unjust charges: and I am inoffensive, meek, and gentle towards others, therefore deal mercifully with me as I have dealt with my fellow men. Any of these renderings may explain the text, perhaps all together will expound it best. It is not self righteous in good men to plead their i

24、nnocence as a reason for escaping from the results of sins wrongfully ascribed to them; penitents do not bedaub themselves with mire for the love of it, or make themselves out to be worse than they are out of pliment to heaven. No, the humblest saint is not a fool, and he is as well aware of the mat

25、ters wherein he is clear as of those wherein he must cry peccavi. To plead guilty to offences we have never mitted is as great a lie as the denial of our real faults. O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Lest any man should suppose that David trusted in his own holiness he immediat

26、ely declared his trust in the Lord, and begged to be saved as one who was not holy in the sense of being perfect, but was even yet in need of the very clements of salvation. How sweet is that title, my God, when joined to the other, thy servant; and how sweet is the hope that on this ground we shall

27、 be saved; seeing that our God is not like the Amalekitish master who left his poor sick servant to perish. Note how Davids poor I am (or rather the I repeated without the am) appeals to the great I AM with that sacred boldness engendered by the necessity which breaks through stone walls, aided by t

28、he faith which removes mountains. EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.Ver 2. Holy. The word has been variously translated: Godly, De Muis, Ainsworth and others; charitable, or beneficent, Piscator; merciful or tenderhearted, Mariana; diligently or earnestly passionate, Vatablus; meek, Calvin; abelo

29、ved one, Version of American Bible Union; one whom thoulovest, Perowne; a devoted or dedicated man, Weiss.Ver. 2. For I am Holy. Some have objected to Davids pleading his own good character; but if he did not go beyond the truth, and the occasion called for it, there was nothing wrong in his so doin

30、g. Job, David, Peter, John and Paul all did it, Job 27:5 Ps 116:16 Joh 21:15-17 Re 1:10 1Co 9:1. Nor is it presumptuous to ask God to show mercy to us for we show it to others; or to forgive us for we forgive others, Mt 5:7 6:14-15. William S. Plumer.Ver. 2. I am holy.thy servant which trusteth in t

31、hee. They that are holy, yet must not trust in themselves, or in their own righteousness, but only in God and his grace. Matthew Henry.Ver. 2. Save thy servant that trusteth in thee. When God saves his servant, he saves what belongs to himself; and, when he saves him that trusts in him, he shows him

32、self to be just and faithful, in carrying out what he promised. Bellarmine.Ver. 2-5. The aspirations after holiness which are found in this Psalm, coupled with its earnest invocation of mercy from the God with whom there is forgiveness, render it peculiarly applicable to those whose daily access is

33、to a throne of needed grace. Christians know that while their standing is the blameless perfection of the Lord their righteouness, they are in many things offenders still. Nor do we ever fully prove the preciousness of Jesus as our portion, except we are drawn to him by that Spirit which reveals to

34、us a nakedness and poverty within ourselves, which his blessed fulness can alone redress. There is a consciousness of personal sanctification through faith (Ps 86:2) associated with an acutely sensitive perception of intrinsic worthlessness, such as only finds relief in the remembrance of unaltered

35、grace (Ps 86:5), which, to the exercised spirit of one really growing in the knowledge of God, will address itself with an especial acceptance. Arthur Pridham.HINTS TO THE VILLAGE PREACHER.Ver. 2.1. The blessing sought is present, spiritual, plete and final preservation. 2. Our reasons for expecting

36、 it are (a) Our belonging to GodI am holy.(b) Gods belonging to usmy God.(c) Our faith, which has the promise. (d) Our fruits, which prove our faiththy servantPsalms 86:3 (PSALMS)EXPOSITION.Ver. 3. Be merciful unto me, O Lord. The best of men need mercy, and appeal to mercy, yea to nothing else but

37、mercy; they need it for themselves, and crave it eagerly of their God as a personal requisite. For I cry unto thee daily. Is there not a promise that importunity shall prevail? May we not, then, plead our importunity as an argument with God? He who prays every day, and all the day, for so the word m

38、ay mean, may rest assured that the Lord will hear him in the day of his need. If we cried sometimes to man, or other false confidences, we might expect to be referred to them in the hour of our calamity, but if in all former times we have looked to the Lord alone, we may be sure that he will not des

39、ert us now. See how David pleaded, first that he was poor and needy, next that he was the Lords set apart one, then that he was Gods servant and had learned to trust in the Lord, and lastly that he had been taught to pray daily; surely these are such holy pleadings as any tried believer may employ w

40、hen wrestling with a prayer hearing God, and with such weapons the most trembling suppliant may hope to win the day. EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.Ver. 3. Be merciful unto me. Lest any should by the former words, (I am holy, )suspect him to be a merit monger, he beggeth mercy with instancy an

41、d constancy of request. John Trapp.Ver. 3. I cry unto thee daily. A great difference between saints and sinners in prayer is that sinners who pray at all, pray only when they are in trouble, whereas saints cry daily unto God. pare Job 27:10. William S. Plumer.HINTS TO THE VILLAGE PREACHER.Ver. 3. Im

42、portunity. 1. When she pleadsdaily.2. How she pleadsI cry.3. To whom she pleadsunto thee.4. For what she pleadsbe merciful.Ver. 3. I will cry daily for pardoning, sanctifying, assisting, preserving, providing and guiding mercy. William Jay.Psalms 86:4 (PSALMS)EXPOSITION.Ver. 4. Rejoice the soul of t

43、hy servant. Make my heart glad, O my Maker, for I count it my honour to call myself again and again thy servant, and I reckon thy favour to be all the wages I could desire. I look for all my happiness in thee only, and therefore unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. As the heliotrope looks to the

44、 sun for its smile, so turn I my heart to thee. Thou art as the brazen serpent to my sick nature, and I lift up my souls eye to thee that I may live. I know that the nearer I am to thee the greater is my joy, therefore be pleased to draw me nearer while I am labouring to draw near. It is not easy to

45、 lift a soul at all; it needs a strong shoulder at the wheel when a heart sticks in the miry clay of despondency: it is less easy to lift a soul up to the Lord, for the height is great as well as the weight oppressive; but the Lord will take the will for the deed, and e in with a hand of almighty gr

46、ace to raise his poor servant out of the earth and up to heaven. EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.Ver. 4. Rejoice the soul of thy servant, etc. As I have not found rest in anything created, I have raised up my soul on the wings of thought and desire to thee my Creator. Love bears ones soul up; a

47、nd it has been truly said, that the soul is more where it loves, than where it actually is. Thought and desire are the wings of love; for he that loves is borne on to, and abides in, what he loves, by thinking constantly on, and longing for, the object of his love. Whoever truly, and from his heart,

48、 loves God, by thinking on him and longing for him lifts up his soul to God; while, on the contrary, whoever loves the earth, by thinking on and coveting the things of the earth, lets his soul down to its level. Bellarmine.Ver. 4. Unto thee, Lord, do I lift my soul. If thou hadst corn in thy rooms b

49、elow, thou wouldest take it up higher, lest it should grow rotten. Wouldest thou remove thy corn, and dost thou suffer thy heart to rot on the earth? Thou wouldest take thy corn up higher: lift up thy heart to heaven. And how can I, dost thou say? What ropes are needed? What machines? What ladders?

50、Thy affections are the steps; thy will the way. By loving thou mountest, by neglect thou descendest. Standing on the earth thou art in heaven, if thou lovest God. For the heart is not so raised as the body is raised: the body to be lifted up changes its place: the heart to be lifted up changes its w

51、ill. Augstine.Ver. 4. Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift my soul, intimates that he had brought himself to the Lord as a living sacrifice, even as the heave offering in the tabernacleto show that it belonged to God and to his altar, and, that man had no part in itwas lifted up by the hands of the priests.

52、 Benjamin Weiss.Ver. 4. I lift up my soul. It denotes the devotion, fervency, heartiness, and sincerity of his prayer; the doing of it with a true heart, the lifting up of the heart with the hands unto God, La 3:41; or by way of offering unto the Lord, not the body only, but the soul or heart also;

53、or as a deposition mitted into is hands. John Gill.Ver. 4. Lord. Here, and in all the verses in this psalm where yndaAdonai, occurs, many MSS read hwhy, Yehovah. The Jews, out of reverence to the inmunicable name Jehovah pronounce ynda where hwhy is in the text. It is, therefore, not improbable that

54、 hwhy is in the true reading in all these places. Note to Calvin in loc.HINTS TO THE VILLAGE PREACHER.Ver. 4.1. The believers joy is from GodRejoice, & c. 2. The believers joy is in Godunto thee, & c. G.R. Ver. 4.1. The great lift. (a) The heavy weightmy soul.2. The weak workerI lift.3. The great he

55、ightunto thee.4. The appointed machinerymeans of grace; and, 5. The expected aidRejoice, etc. Psalms 86:5 (PSALMS)EXPOSITION.Ver. 5. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive. Good at giving and forgiving; supplying us with his good, and removing our evil. Here was the great reason why the Psal

56、mist looked to the Lord alone for his joy, because every joy creating attribute is to be found in perfection in Jehovah alone. Some men who would be considered good are so self exultingly indignant at the injuries done them by others, that they cannot forgive; but we may rest assured that the better

57、 a being is, the more willing he is to forgive, and the best and highest of all is ever ready to blot out the transgressions of his creatures. And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. God does not dispense his mercy from a slender store which perchance may be so impoverished as to g

58、ive out altogether, but out of a cornucopiae he pours forth the infinite riches of his mercy: his goodness flows forth in abounding streams towards those who pray and in adoring worship make mention of his name. David seems to have stood in the cleft of the rock with Moses, and to have heard the nam

59、e of the Lord proclaimed even as the great lawgiver did, for in two places in this psalm he almost quotes verbatim the passage in Ex 34:6 The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.Ver. 5. For thou, Lord, art good, and

60、 whither should beggars go but to the door of the good house keeper? Matthew Henry.Ver. 5. Ready to forgive. The mercy of God is a ready mercy, and his pardons are ready for his people; his pardons and mercies are not to seek, he hath them at hand, he is good and ready to forgive. Whereas most men,

61、though they will forgive, yet they are not ready to forgive, they are hardly brought to it, though they do it at last. But God is ready to forgive; he hath, as it were, pardons ready drawn (as a man who would be ready to do a business, he will have such writings as concern the passing of it ready);

62、there is nothing to do but to put in the date and the name; yea indeed, the date and the name are put in from all eternity. Thus the Scripture speaks to show how forward God is to do good; he needs not set his heart to it; his heart is ever in the exactest fitness. Joseph Caryl.Ver. 5. Plenteous in

63、mercy. It is a thing marvellously satisfactory and pleasing to the heart of a man to be still taking from a great heap; and upon this ground are those proverbial sayings, There is no fishing like to a fishing in the sea; no service like the service of a king: because in one there is the greatest ple

64、nty and abundance of that kind of pleasure that fishers look after; and for them that serve, and must live by their service, there is none like that of princes, because they have abundance of reward and opportunity whereby to repense the services of those that do wait and attend upon them. And upon

65、the same ground is it that the Scriptures, in several places, do not only assert and testify that God is merciful and gracious, but abundant in mercy and full of grace; and not simply that there is redemption in him, but plenteousness of redemption: Ps 103:8 130:7 Isa 55:7; Let the wicked forsake his way, etc.; Let him return unto the Lord and he will have mercy; and unto our God, for lie will abundantly pardon. The modity which we stand in need of is mercy and the pardon of
