Psalms 116:6

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 116:6. The LORD preserveth the simple:

You clever men take heed of this. "The Lord preserveth the simple" - the plain, hearty, honest, sincere, sometimes ridiculed for their want of cunning. God takes care of them.

Psalms 116:6. I was brought low, and he helped me.

What a sweet thing it is when you have studied a general doctrine to be able to give yourself as a particular instance of it. "The Lord preserveth the simple." That is a grand truth. "But I was brought low, and he helped me." That is an emphatic proof. That is the enjoyable illustration of the grand truth. Can you say that, dear friends? Can you put that in your diary? "I was brought low, and he helped me."
