Psalms 39:8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 39:8. Deliver me from all my transgressions:

We had not expected David to offer that prayer, we might have thought that he would say, "Deliver me from all my troubles, and from my many vexing thoughts." But no, he lays the axe at the root of the evil: "Deliver me from all my transgressions." There is only One who can do that, even the glorious Son of God, who lived and died to save his people from their sins.

Psalms 39:8. Make me not the reproach of the foolish.

"The wicked will be ready enough to catch me up, and pour scorn upon me. Lord, keep me so right with thee, and so near to thyself, that they may never be able to reproach me!"
