Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Is he the same God that he used to be? Or has he been overtaken with a fit of forgetfulness? Has he a failing memory, like yours and mine? Psa_77:9. Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. Can it be? Has he not said, “as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I...

Selah. And I said, When I came to reckon all up, and make a righteous judgment; when I bid my fears lie still awhile, and let me listen to reason, I said: —

And I said, this is my infirmity,.... Referring either to what he had said in the preceding verses; and which is to be considered either as checking and correcting himself for what he had said, and acknowledging his evil in it; and it is as if he had said, this is a sin against God, that I am guilty of in questioning his love, and disbelieving his...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. “But I will remember” is added by the translator. Surely it was to the psalmist an infirmity to be thus in trouble; he called it Benoni, son of sorrow; but it was not infirmity to God; he called it Benjamin, son of the right hand. There is a sort of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I said, This is my infirmity: And so it is. Worse than that; it is sometimes our iniquity, our sin, to think such hard things of God. But inasmuch as faith was there, battling, struggling, and striving, the little temporary victory which unbelief seemed to gain was the result of infirmity. Psa_77:10. But I will remember the years of the right...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I said, This is my infirmity: “This is a trouble appointed to me, I must bear it.” Or, “This is because of the weakness of my faith. God has not changed; it is I who have changed. ‘This is my infirmity.’” Psa_77:10. But I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. “I will remember what God has done with that right hand of his....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. I will remember God’s faithfulness in the past, in years when I lived at his right hand and basked in the sunlight of his love: I will snatch firebrands from the altars of the past to light up the fires of today.

I will remember the works of the Lord,.... His works of creation and providence, his government of the world, and particularly his regard for his own people, and his preservation of them, especially the people of Israel, whom he had not cast off, nor would and so might serve to strengthen his faith, that he would not cast him off for ever: and in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. Think of what God has done for his people, how he has delivered them, how he has lifted them from the dunghill, and set them among the princes, even among the princes of his people. Think of his wonders of grace, and be no more discouraged.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. They will bear talking of, they will bear turning over, and meditating upon; for they are full of comfort.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, — “I will not have any more of my works; I will meditate on thy work. I will get to thee, my God, and think of what thou hast done; especially of thy works of grace, how brightly they shine! I will meditate also of all thy work,”...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Or better, “Thy way is in holiness.” What thou doest is right, my God. I feared and trembled, but now I know it is so.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
I will meditate also of all thy work,.... Or "works" (t), which were many; he desired not to forget any of them, but remember the multitude of his tender mercies, and not only call them to mind, but dwell upon them in his meditations and contemplations, in order to gain some relief by them under his present circumstances: and talk of thy doings:...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Those who talk ought to meditate; otherwise they grind wind. Those who meditate will talk; otherwise the miller grinds only for himself.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Or, “is in holiness.” God’s way is sometimes in the sea, but it is always a holy way. God never deals with his people, or with any of his creatures, unjustly or unrighteously. “I cannot trace God,” said Luther once, “but I can trust him;” and from that saying of his we have coined the...

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary,.... Or "in holiness" (y); that is, is holy, so the Syriac version, and to which the Targum agrees. "O God, how holy are thy ways,'' see Psalms 145:17, or "in the sanctuary", the temple, the church of God, where he takes his walks, and manifests himself, and where the reasons of his providence, and dealing with...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Or, “in holiness.” God’s way is always a holy way, a righteous way. Psa_77:13. Who is so great a God as our God? When we think of the greatness of God, if we simply dwell upon his power, we make a mistake. The greatness of God lies mainly in his moral attributes, in his completeness, his wholeness, his holiness.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. Whenever the Hebrew mind was full of exulting joy concerning God’s greatness and might, it seemed inevitably to turn back to Egypt and the Red Sea. Just as we, believers in Jesus, love to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. See how the psalmist comforts himself with what God had done; and he went right back to the Red Sea for his illustration. Somehow, God’s people in the olden times always liked to sing the song of Moses; by a kind of instinct,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. Oh! if we could all tell out what God has done for us, we could prove it true that God has declared his strength among us; the might of his grace has he displayed in our case.
