⁸ Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; Nor are there any works like Your works. ⁹ All nations whom You have made Shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And shall glorify Your name. ¹⁰ For You are great, and do wondrous things; You alone are God. ¹¹ Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. ¹² I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. ¹³ For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. ¹⁴ O God, the proud have risen against me, And a mob of violent men have sought my life, And have not set You before them. ¹⁵ But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth. ¹⁶ Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your maidservant. ¹⁷ Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, Because You, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For thou art great,.... In his nature, and the perfections of it; in his power, wisdom, truth, faithfulness, love, grace, and mercy; and in all his persons; the Father is great, greater than all; the Son is the great God, and our Saviour; and the Spirit, which is in his people, is greater than he that is in the world:

and doest wondrous things; in nature and providence; such as the forming of all things out of nothing; upholding all things by the word of his power; the formation of man, soul and body, and the union of both; and the constant government of the world; and more especially in grace, as the provision in the covenant in eternity, the mission of Christ in time, the conversion of a sinner, and bringing him to eternal glory:

thou art God alone; to the exclusion of all such who are not gods by nature; but not to the exclusion of the Son and Spirit, who are, with the Father, the one God, 1 John 5:7.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things - Things suited to excite wonder or admiration; things which lie beyond the power of any creature, and which could be performed by no one but a being of almighty power. A God who could do these things could also do that which the psalmist asked of him, for what God actually does proves that there is nothing within the limits of possibility which he cannot perform. The greatness and the power of God are reasons why we should appeal to him in our weakness, and in our times of trouble.

Thou art God alone - Thou only canst do what a God can do, or what belongs to God. In those things, therefore, which require the interposition of divine power our appeal must be to thee alone. So in the matter of salvation.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 86:10. For thou art great — Almighty, infinite, eternal.

And doest wondrous things — ועשה נפלאות veoseh niphlaoth; thou art the Worker of miracles. This thou hast done in numerous instances, and thereby showed thy infinite power and wisdom.

This appears to be a prophecy of the calling of the Gentiles to the faith of Christ, and the evidence to be given to his Divine mission by the miracles which he should work.

Thou art God alone. — Συ ει ὁ Θεος μονος ὁ μεγας. - Sept. Thou art the only, THE GREAT God. In this the AEthiopic and Arabic agree.
