psalms 86:1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. - Free Bible Online

psalms 86:1 [A Prayer of David]. Incline Thine ear, O LORD, [and] answer me; For I am afflicted and needy.

      Ps 86:1-17. This is a prayer in which the writer, with deep emotion, mingles petitions and praises, now urgent for help, and now elated with hope, in view of former mercies. The occurrence of many terms and phrases peculiar to David's Psalms clearly intimates its authorship.

      1, 2. poor and needy--a suffering child of God, as in Ps 10:12, 17; 18:27.
      I am holy--or, "godly," as in Ps 4:3; 85:8.
