Psalms 142:3

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 142:3. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path.

I did not know it. I was so puzzled - so in a maze, like a man at his wits’ end. My spirit seemed turned bottom upward, like a thing that is overwhelmed.

Psalms 142:3 In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

I could not find out where the snare was, but "thou knewest my path." I knew the trap was cunningly laid, but I could not see it. "Thou knewest my path." We are not ignorant of Satan’s devices, but sometimes we are completely ignorant as to what devices he is using just now, but "then thou knewest my path."
