Clarke's Psalms 86:3 Bible Commentary
Be merciful unto me - I have no merit; I plead none, but trust in thee alone.
I cry unto thee daily - My state deeply affects me; and I incessantly cry for thy salvation.
Barnes's Psalms 86:3 Bible Commentary
Be merciful unto me, O Lord - It was mercy after all that he relied on, and not justice. It was not because he had any claim on the ground that he was "holy," but all that he had and hoped for was to be traced to the mercy of God.
For I cry unto thee daily - Margin, as in Hebrew, "All the day." The meaning is, that he did this constantly, or without intermission.
