Psalms 86:14-17
Summary for Ps 86:14-17: 86:14-17 a The arrogant exist both inside and outside the community. The psalmist asks for a vision of God’s character; God is so great that just a glimpse of his goodness will shut the mouths of the wicked.86:15 b God has mercy on his people (51:1 c); he is gracious (25:6 d), slow to get angry (103:8 e; 145:8 f), and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness (Hebrew khesed and ’emeth; 143:1 g). This verse repeats a theme first expressed in Exod 34:7 h; Num 14:18 i (cp. Pss 103:8 j; 145:8 k; Neh 9:17 l; Joel 2:13 m; Jon 4:2 n).
