Psalms 119:116

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 119:116. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live:

"Lord, I cannot even live unless thou dost uphold me according to thy promise." The Christian man is so dependent upon God that he owes his life and the continuance of it to upholding grace.

Psalms 119:116. And let me not be ashamed of my hope.

"If thy promise could fail me, then I should have cause to be ashamed of my hope. Therefore, O Lord, let me never at any time have the shadow of a doubt concerning the truthfulness of thy promises, lest I should begin to be ashamed of my hope!"
