Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. Though nature does not speak, yet its words go to the ends of the earth; and, silently, they sing the- praises of God. To the inner ears of an enlightened man, there is a measure of spiritual...

In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a Strongman to run a race.

The sun is...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Or, the very best gold. No riches can so enrich the mind and heart as the Word of God does. A man may have tons of gold, and yet be utterly miserable; but he who is pure in heart, he who hath God’s Word and the love of it in his heart, is truly rich, however poor he may be in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors. While David is speaking of the Book that has no errors in it, he is reminded of his own errors; and they strike him as being so many that he cannot understand them. Every sin is really an error, a mistake, a blunder, as well as...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And in keeping of them there is great reward. Not, for keeping of them, for it is not of debt; but, “in keeping of them.” It is always best to do as God bids you. You never forget a duty, or refuse to do it, without suffering loss, and every mistake you make, with regard to your Lord’s will, is a damage to yourselves. The keeping of his commands...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Cleanse thou me from secret faults. “Cleanse me from the faults which I cannot see, and which no mortal man has ever seen. Thou, Lord, seest them; be pleased, therefore, to cleanse me from them.” This view of the omniscience of God is very comforting to the believer; because he perceives that, even if he cannot see his sin, so as to own it, and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. The man who searches his heart most will yet leave some sin undiscovered; and he who says, “I have no sin; I am living without sin,” has surely never seen into his own heart at all, he must be an utter stranger to the condition it is in. Let this be the prayer of each one of us:...

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;- If we indulge in secret sins, we may gradually slide down an inclined plane until we come to presumptuous sins, sins committed willfully, sins known to be sins, daring.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; “Let me never dare to do what I know to be wrong. Let me not say, ‘I will go just so far, and then stop.’ Let me not tempt the Holy Spirit of God.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; And so it came to pass; in that dread night in Gethsemane, Jesus “was heard in that he feared.” The God of wrestling Jacob heard the cries of his dear Son, and defended him, or supported him, as it is in the marginal reading.

The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; — This is a prayer for David, a prayer for Jesus, and a prayer for every child of God: “Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble.” What dost thou want?
