Contextual Overview

8 Lord, there is no god like you and no works like yours. 9 Lord, all the nations you have made will come and worship you. They will honor you. 10 You are great and you do miracles. Only you are God. 11 Lord , teach me what you want me to do, and I will live by your truth. Teach me to respect you completely. 12 Lord, my God, I will praise you with all my heart, and I will honor your name forever. 13 You have great love for me. You have saved me from death. 14 God, proud people are attacking me; a gang of cruel people is trying to kill me. They do not respect you. 15 But, Lord, you are a God who shows mercy and is kind. You don't become angry quickly. You have great love and faithfulness. 16 Turn to me and have mercy. Give me, your servant, strength. Save me, the son of your female servant. 17 Show me a sign of your goodness. When my enemies look, they will be ashamed. You, Lord , have helped me and comforted me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord,.... Among the angels of heaven, as the Targum, in the king's Bible; see

Matthew 24:36, and who are sometimes called gods, and among whom there is none like to the Lord; see Psalms 97:7 or among civil magistrates, he being King of kings, and Lord of lords, the only Potentate; among whom he judges, over whom he presides, and whom he sets up and puts down at pleasure, Psalms 82:1, or among all those that are named gods in heaven, or on earth, the nominal and fictitious gods of the Gentiles, who are vanity, and the work of error: the portion of Jacob is not like them, Jeremiah 10:15, there is none like him, for the perfections of his nature, his power, wisdom, faithfulness, holiness, justice, mercy, grace, and goodness; Exodus 15:11.

neither are there any works like unto thy works; as the works of creation and providence, and those of redemption and grace, in which there is such a manifest display of the perfections of his nature, Deuteronomy 3:24.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord - Among all those which are worshipped as gods there is no one that can hear and save. The psalmist, in respect to prayer, and to help to be obtained by prayer, compares his own condition with that of those who worshipped false gods. He had a God who could hear; they had none. A true child of God now in trouble may properly compare his condition in this respect with that of those who make no profession of religion; who do not profess to worship God, or to have a God. To him there is a throne of grace which is always accessible; to them there is none. There is One to whom he may always pray; they profess to have no one on whom they can call.

Neither are there any works like unto thy works - That is, as done by those “gods.” There is nothing they have done which can be a ground of confidence that can be compared with what thou hast done. The allusion is to the power, the wisdom, and the skill evinced in the works of creation, and in the merciful interpositions of Providence. From these the psalmist derives a proof that God is able to save. There is no such argument to which the worshippers of false gods can appeal in the time of trouble.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 86:8. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord — None that trusted in an idol ever had help in time of need; none that prayed to any of them ever had an answer to his petitions. Thou savest; they cannot; thou upholdest; they must be upheld by their foolish worshippers. Thou art my Director, אדני Adonai; but they cannot direct nor teach; they have mouths, but they speak not.
