About this psalm
Lament · Trust · Attributed to David
The only psalm attributed to David in Book Three, Psalm 86 is woven from phrases found elsewhere in Scripture, especially God's self-description to Moses in Exodus 34. It is the prayer of someone poor and threatened who leans entirely on God's character. Its request for an undivided heart is timeless.
