Context of Psalms 86:7
5For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our sins, sending them away, completely letting them go forever and ever]; And abundant in lovingkindness and overflowing in mercy to all those who call upon You. 6Hear, O Lord, my prayer; And listen attentively to the voice of my supplications (specific requests)! In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me. 8There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, Nor are there any works [of wonder and majesty] like Yours. 9All nations whom You have made shall come and kneel down in worship before You, O Lord, And they shall glorify Your name.
