13 For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.
13 For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
13 You've always been great toward me - what love! You snatched me from the brink of disaster!
13 For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
13 for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 86:13
Commentary on Psalm 86:8-17
(Read Psalm 86:8-17)
Our God alone possesses almighty power and infinite love. Christ is the way and the truth. And the believing soul will be more desirous to be taught the way and the truth. And the believing soul will be more desirous to be taught the way and the truth of God, in order to walk therein, than to be delivered out of earthly distress. Those who set not the Lord before them, seek after believers' souls; but the compassion, mercy, and truth of God, will be their refuge and consolation. And those whose parents were the servants of the Lord, may urge this as a plea why he should hear and help them. In considering David's experience, and that of the believer, we must not lose sight of Him, who though he was rich, for our sakes became poor, that we through his poverty might be rich.
