Psalms 86:5
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Study Note
The psalmist's declaration of the grounds for prayer — 'for you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you' — is one of the clearest statement in the Psalter of divine moral character as the basis for confident intercession. The three attributes — good (tov), forgiving (sallach), and abounding in steadfast love (rav chesed) — each carry deep covenantal resonance, with 'chesed' especially pointing to the loyal, durable love that defines God's character in Exodus 34:6-7. The phrase 'to all who call upon you' removes any restriction of divine forgiveness to the particularly righteous, grounding access in the act of calling rather than the status of the caller. The verse has been central to Jewish and Christian prayer theologies that ground confident petition in God's character rather than the petitioner's worthiness.
