Psa 86:16 Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did. Because the proud had risen against David, he asked God for strength. His enemies were ruthless men with no regard for the Lord. But by contrast the Lord is compassionate, gracious… slow to anger, loving, and faithful. David’s prayer for “strength” in the face of his peril was based on the greatness of God. He also asked for a sign of God’s goodness, that is, deliverance so that others would see and know it was God at work.
