Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. There is no sword in God’s hand to be used against his own children, but he does hold a rod, and that rod makes us smart, and causes the blueness of the wound which cleanseth away evil. We are grieved when we feel its strokes, yet there is covenant mercy in them. The...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

In the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, the...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. Thou hast...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? That was the wisest thing for the psalmist to do, and it is our best course also; in the darkest days of the most sinful age we can always resort to prayer, let us do so.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. Blessed be the LORD for evermore....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. “Did not Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all our fathers dwell in thee? And though we are now weary-footed pilgrims, who have no fixed dwelling place on earth, we do dwell in thee. Thou, Lord, art the true home of all the generations of thy people.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
LORD, thou has been our dwelling place in all generations. Thy chosen people have dwelt in thee. Thou art their rest, their refuge, their comfort, their home.

LORD thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. “This world in which we live is no home for our immortal spirits.

Beneath thy wide wings we find blessed shelter, and in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Before the mountains were brought forth, Before they were born like infants, gigantic as they are. Psa_90:2.

We dwell, as it were, in tents which are taken down, and removed, but there...

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. When compared with God, those hoary hills are but as infants of a day, and the whole round world itself is but as a new-born child. “From everlasting” has he existed, — when all created things slept in his...
