Psalms 119:87

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 119:87. They had almost consumed me upon earth;

"They had almost eaten me up; they had almost burned my life out. Blessed be God, they could not consume me anywhere except upon earth! My immortal part would escape the burning of their coals of juniper. They had almost consumed me, but almost is not altogether." When God delivers his people from the lion and the bear, the jaws of the wild beasts may be almost closed, yet they shall be opened wide enough for us to escape: "They had almost consumed me upon earth."

Psalms 119:87. But I forsook not thy precepts.

You cleave to the right, and God will not turn away from you, nor will he let you turn away from his precepts.
