Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
Psalm 86:4
This is David’s prayer and in it he talks about his steadfast love in the Lord. He has many troubles that we do not know about until later on in the Psalm. The only ones we know are that he is poor and needy. By confessing to “lift up his soul,” David knows and we can see that if we truly keep the faith that God will answer us by gladdening our soul. I understand that to mean that if we confess our sins and walk in God’s path, we will be forgiven.
