Psalms 86:3

“Be merciful unto me, O Lord, etc.] In my distressed and miserable condition, being an object of mercy, pity, and compassion; this petition is used by Christ in (<194110>Psalm 41:10) for I cry unto thee daily; or “all the day”; every day, and several times in a day, (<195517>Psalm 55:17) constant and importunate prayer is the duty of saints, and available with God, (<520517>1 Thessalonians 5:17 <421801>Luke 18:1-7). Christ was much in the exercise of it, (<420612>Luke 6:12).”

“Be merciful unto me, O Lord - It was mercy after all that he relied on, and not justice. It was not because he had any claim on the ground that he was “holy,” but all that he had and hoped for was to be traced to the mercy of God. For I cry unto thee daily - Margin, as in Hebrew, “All the day.” The meaning is, that he did this constantly, or without intermission. return to 'Top of Page'”
