Psalms 86:12,13

Cp. Psalms 57:9-10; Psalms 9:1; Psalms 50:15; Psalms 50:23.

with all my heart R.V. with my whole heart; when the prayer of Psalms 86:11 is granted.

thy mercy Thy lovingkindness.

and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell From the nethermost Sheol. From Psalms 56:13 (Psalms 116:8); Deuteronomy 32:22. Deliverance from imminent danger of death may be meant; yet here the Psalmist may identify himself with the nation, and refer to its deliverance from the death of the exile. Cp. Psalms 85:6.
