Psalms 86:17 Summary
Psalms 86:17 is a prayer where the psalmist asks God to show him a sign of His goodness, so that his enemies will be ashamed and see that God is on his side. This is not about seeking revenge, but about trusting God to demonstrate His love and care. The psalmist is confident in God's help and comfort, just like we can be when we remember that God is our Shepherd who guides and comforts us (Psalms 23:3). By asking for a sign of God's goodness, we can trust that He will provide what is best for us, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11, and we can have confidence in His goodness, as expressed in Psalms 100:5.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of asking God to show a sign of His goodness in Psalms 86:17?
Asking God to show a sign of His goodness is a request for a visible demonstration of His love and care, so that others may see and be ashamed of their opposition, as seen in Psalms 86:17, and this is in line with God's character as described in Psalms 23:3, where He guides and comforts us.
How does the psalmist's request relate to his enemies?
The psalmist's request for a sign of God's goodness is closely tied to his desire for his enemies to be ashamed, indicating that he trusts God to vindicate him and demonstrate His power, similar to what is written in Romans 8:31, where we are told that if God is for us, no one can be against us.
What does the phrase 'You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me' reveal about the psalmist's relationship with God?
This phrase shows that the psalmist has a personal and intimate relationship with God, having experienced His help and comfort in the past, which gives him confidence to ask for a sign of God's goodness, as seen in Psalms 119:50, where the psalmist finds comfort in God's Word.
How can we apply the principle of asking for a sign of God's goodness in our own lives?
We can apply this principle by asking God to demonstrate His love and care in our circumstances, trusting that He will provide what is best for us, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11, and being confident in His goodness, as expressed in Psalms 100:5.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to see a sign of God's goodness, and how can I trust Him to provide it?
- How do I respond when my enemies or opponents seem to be gaining the upper hand, and what can I learn from the psalmist's trust in God?
- In what ways have I experienced God's help and comfort in the past, and how can I draw on those experiences to trust Him in the present?
- What does it mean for my enemies to be 'ashamed' in the context of Psalms 86:17, and how does this relate to God's vindication of me?
- How can I balance my desire for God to demonstrate His goodness with the understanding that His ways are not always immediate or visible?
Gill's Exposition on Psalms 86:17
Show me a token for good,.... Not only one by which he might know that his sins were pardoned, and his person accepted with God, and that he should be saved; but one visible to others, even to his
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 86:17
Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 86:17
Vouchsafe unto me some evident and eminent token of lay good will to me, for the conviction of mine enemies, and mine own comfort.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 86:17
Psalms 86:17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.Ver. 17. Show me a token for good] Make me king, as thou hast promised; and meanwhile so deliver me, that my greatest adversaries may be convinced of their malice and madness. At the death of some of the martyrs strange tokens were shown, as they had foretold: Latimer, Hauks, Smith, Samuel, &c., for instance. Son of God, shine upon me, said Hunter at the stake, and the sun shone out of a dark cloud so full, that he was forced to look another way (Acts and Mon. 1544, 1547, 1398).
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 86:17
(17) A token for good—i.e., some sign of continued or renewed providential care and love, such, indeed, as an Israelite under the old covenant saw, and every pious heart under the new sees, in what to others is an every-day occurrence. The expression for good is a favourite one with Nehemiah (Nehemiah 5:19; Nehemiah 13:31) and Jeremiah (Jeremiah 24:5-6, and comp. Romans 8:28. &c).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 86:17
Verse 17. Show me a token for good] עשה עמי אוה aseh immi oth, "Make with me a sign." Fix the honourabie mark of thy name upon me, that I may be known to be thy servant. There seems to be an allusion here to the marking of a slave, to ascertain whose property he was. The Anglo-Saxon, [A. S.] on [A. S.], "do with me a token in good.' Old Psalter: Do with me signe in gude. From [A. S.] tacn we have our word token, which signifies a sign, mark, or remembrancer of something beyond itself; a pledge that something, then specified, shall be done or given. Give me, from the influence of thy Spirit in my heart, a pledge that the blessings which I now ask shall be given in due time. But he wished for such a sign as his enemies might see; that they might know God to be his helper, and be confounded when they sought his destruction.
ANALYSIS OF THE EIGHTY-SIXTH PSALM This Psalm is a continued prayer, and may be divided into four parts: - I. The first part is a petition for safety, drawn from his own person, Psalms 86:1-4. II. The second, a quickening of the same petition, drawn from the person and nature of God, Psalms 86:5-13. III. The third, taken from the quality of his adversaries, Psalms 86:14. IV. The fourth, a conjunction of all these three; the first, Psalms 86:15; the second, Psalms 86:16; the third, Psalms 86:17. I. The reasons of his petition, drawn from himself. 1.
"Bow down thine ear." Reason: "I am poor and needy," Psalms 86:1. 2. "Preserve my soul." Reason: "I am holy," or merciful, Psalms 86:2. 3. "Save thy servant." Reason: "He puts his trust in thee," Psalms 86:3. 4. "Be merciful unto me." Reason: "I cry unto thee daily," Psalms 86:4. 5. "Rejoice the soul of thy servant." Reason: "For unto thee do I lift up my soul," Psalms 86:4. II. A quickening of the petition, drawn from the nature of God. 1. "For thou, Lord, art good," c., Psalms 86:5-6. 2. "I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me," Psalms 86:7. 3. "There is none like unto thee," Psalms 86:8. 4.
"Nor any works like unto thy works," Psalms 86:8. This shall be amply proved: for 5. "All nations," now worshipping idols, "shall be converted to thee," Psalms 86:9. 6. "Because thou art great, and doest wondrous things," Psalms 86:10. On this reason, that there is none like God, - 1. He begs to be governed by his word and Spirit, Psalms 86:11. 2. Promises to praise him for his great mercy, Psalms 86:12-13. III. He presses another argument taken from his enemies. 1. They were proud: "The proud are risen against me." 2.
They were powerful: "The assemblies of violent men." 3. They were ungodly: "They did not set thee before them," Psalms 86:14. IV. He amplifies his former argument. 1. From the nature of God: "Thou art full of compassion," &c., Psalms 86:15. 2.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 86:17
17. a token for good] Some visible and unmistakable sign of Thy favour towards me. Cp. Jeremiah 24:6; Ezra 8:22; Nehemiah 5:19; Nehemiah 13:31. that they &c.] That they which hate me may be ashamed when they see that thou &c. Cp. Psalms 40:3; Psalms 6:10; Psalms 35:4 : and for holpen … comforted, Isaiah 49:8; Isaiah 49:13.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 86:17
Shew me a token for good ... - Hebrew, “Make me a sign for good;” that is, Do that for me in my trouble which will be an evidence that thou dost favor me, and wilt save me.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 86:17
17. Token for good—Such a turn of affairs as shall prove to my enemies, not only that I am successful against all their power and strategy, but that my prosperity is of God.
