Psalm 86 is a prayer of David asking God to meet his supplications and mercifully help him. He cries to God as a faithful servant, expressing his trust in God and his faith in divine goodness and compassion. The verses selected below are related to the psalm themes:
Isaiah 55:6-7: "Seek the Lord as long as one can find, invoke him while he is close. Leave the wicked his way, and the evil man, his thoughts and convert to the Lord, who shall be sympathized; For our God, because he is rich in forgiving. " This verse talks about the importance of seeking God as he can be found and ask for his forgiveness, remembering David's prayer in Psalm 86 by mercy and forgiveness.
2 Chronicles 30:9b: "For the Lord, your God, is clear and merciful, and will not deviate from you the face if you convert to Him." This verse reinforces the idea that God is merciful and is always ready to forgive and help those who turn to Him, just as David is crying out for help in Psalm 86.
Psalm 130:1-2: "From the depths I cry to you, O Lord. Lord, listen to my voice; be your listening attentive to the voice of my supplications." Like David, the author of Psalm 130 cries to God in prayer, asking him to hear his supplications. Both express their trust in divine goodness and compassion.
2 Samuel 22:31: "As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proved; it is a shield for all who trust in Him." This verse emphasizes the perfection and confidence that can be taken in the word and divine protection, something that David also highlights in his Psalm 86.
Philippians 4:6-7: "You are not restless for anything; before, your petitions are all known before God, prayer and supplications, with thanksgiving. And the peace of God, which exceeds all understanding,, will keep your hearts and your feelings in Christ Jesus. " This verse highlights the importance of prayer and trust in God, remembering David's prayer in Psalm 86 and reinforcing the idea that God listens and responds to the prayers of his faithful servants.
