PSALM 86 CONTEXT: C.H. Spurgeon’s Treasury of David states: TITLE. A Prayer of David. We have here one of the five psalms entitled Tephillahs or prayers. This psalm consists of praise as well as prayer, but it is in all parts so directly addressed to God that it is most fitly called “a prayer.” A prayer is none … More Devotional thought for today – 11/18/21
