Psalms 119:37

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 119:37. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity;

Or "make mine eyes to pass from beholding vanity." I am a runner in the race. Do not let me stop to look at anything, but may my eyes pass by vanity. Let me not be like her in the fable who paused to gather the golden apples in the race, and so lost it and was deceived. If the world’s golden apples are thrown in my way, make my eyes to pass from beholding vanity.

Psalms 119:37. And quicken thou me in thy way.

More life towards thee will deaden me to the world. The more I follow after God, the less shall I care to follow after the world.
