Psalms 119:83

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 119:83. For I am become like a bottle in the smoke;

An old dried-up skin bottle, that is hung in the smoke of the tent over the fire, till it is wrinkled and cracked, and almost good for nothing.

Psalms 119:83. Yet do I not forget thy statutes.

"Beauty is gone, strength is gone, comeliness is gone; but not my memory of thy word, O Lord." What a mercy it is that, when the worst comes to the worst with us, still the best remains: "I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes."
