Psalm 86
The
pious appeal of the returned remnant in the land
This psalm is the meek yet
confiding and confident appeal of a soul conscious of its
godly feelings towards Jehovah and looking to the results
of relationship with Him. We have had Jehovah since Psalm
84, which is founded on these covenant relationships in
which the remnant feel themselves to be, though awaiting
full blessing in the land. Still it is yet in distress,
for the people are not revived nor set in their covenant
blessings in the land. Holy (v. 2) is pious or gracious
(chasid, not kodesh, holy). The three requests of the
psalm are, "Bow down thine ear and hear me" (v.
1). The gracious attention of Jehovah is called for to
give ear to the prayer of the suppliant; then to attend
to the voice of his supplication (v. 6); that is, he
looks for his request being granted; thirdly, to be
taught in the way of truth (v. 11). Jehovah's mercies in
the terrible conflict of the remnant are then owned; but
he who thus cried, still looked for His interference in
his behalf, that they that hate him may be ashamed,
because Jehovah has helped and comforted him. How the
state of the remnant, like Job, brings out the great
conflict between the power of Satan and divine
deliverance, but in which, however low he may be brought,
the godly soul owns the source of all to be Jehovah,
though his feet may well nigh slip in seeing the
prosperity of the ungodly! It is not a psalm of complaint
nor bitterness of soul, but of one who is yet poor and
needy, but has tasted the comfort of Jehovah's goodness.
It is to be remarked that,
save the cases noticed, Lord is Adonai, not Jehovah. This
is not the same as Jehovah, that is, the covenant name of
God with Israel in eternal faithfulness—here Adonai,
one who has taken power and is in the relationship of
lordship to those who call. Hence in fact we own Christ
to be in this place—"our Lord Jesus
Christ"; and so it will be for Jews, though, till
they see Him, they will not own Him fully thus. This
Adonai is Elohim. Death and human power were before the
thoughts of the godly, but the comfort of a known Jehovah
as a support. They had found deliverance, but it was not
complete in blessing. The psalm is essentially the pious
appeal to Jehovah of the returned. remnant of Israel in
the land; but in the main its spirit is that into which
Christ fully entered, but it is not directly applicable
to Him.
