Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 86:8

"There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither [are there any works] like unto thy works." — Psalms 86:8 (ASV)

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord - Among all those that are worshipped as gods, there is no one who can hear and save. The psalmist, regarding prayer and the 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 rightly compare his condition in this respect with that of those who make no profession of religion—those who do not profess to worship God or to have a God. To him, there is a throne of grace that 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 that can be a ground of confidence that can be compared with what you have done. The allusion is to the power, the wisdom, and the skill shown 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.
