Commentary on Psalms 86:15

Theological / Devotional

Full of compassion. The psalmist appeals to God on the ground of God’s glorious character (see on v. 5). By the very nature of His character God cannot desert a soul in need. This address to God introduces the earnest prayer recorded in vs. 16, 17.
