Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. My brethren, what an idea we have here of God thus supplying all the creatures of the earth and the sea! They are all waiting upon him; they can go to no other storehouse but his, no other granary can supply their needs. Surely, we need not be afraid that he will fail...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. That is all he has to do, you see, just to open his hand. If that hand were once fast closed, they would all die; but, in order to supply the wants of all the creatures he has made, he has only just to open his hand.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hidest thy face, As if he did but put his hand before the brightness of his countenance,-
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. When God takes away the genial light of the summer’s sun, what multitudes of creatures die; and then, when the soft breath of spring blows upon the earth, how soon the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. Let the sinners be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. Thus the psalmist, like a good musician, ends with the keynote of his song of praise: “Bless the Lord, O my soul.” May each of us say the same!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. So cowed were they by that awful darkness, that for a time they seemed to repent of their rebellion against the Lord.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. Though the fish could not live, the frogs could. When good was taken away, evil came. What a strange succession of miracles was this, — the fish slain, but the frogs multiplied!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number, There is great sublimity in this expression. God had...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. It was a notable miracle that, after all the oppression they had endured, they...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. Yet this was the mighty nation whose proud king had defied the Lord. At last, they had had enough of the combat; they were glad that the people of God should retire out of their land, and they themselves bowed low before him. May we be taught humility of heart, so that we can...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Praise ye the LORD. Or, “Hallelujah.” I cannot help remarking here that this is one of the most sacred words in the whole Bible, and it ought always to be pronounced with the utmost reverence. I sometimes feel my blood chill when I hear of “hallelujah lasses” and “hallelujah bonnets.” If those who use such expressions rightly understood the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Praise ye the LORD. The Psalm begins with Hallelujah, and the story of the Church is a succession of Hallelujahs; and the story of every Christian man’s life concerning the wonderful forbearance of God to him is a series of Hallelujahs. Psa_106:1. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. That is the text, and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. In this Psalm we have the history of God’s people turned to practical account. I have heard of some very unwise persons, who have said, “I do not care about the histories of Scripture. I do not profit by them.” Tell me, dear friends, what other Bible...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? Neither the angels nor the perfect spirits who day without night circle his throne rejoicing can show forth all Jehovah’s praise.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. These are the really blessed people, and we shall see, in this Psalm, how God’s ancient people so often missed that blessing by their sin, as I doubt not that we also miss much of the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can show forth all his praise? Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. There is great comfort in walking near to God; the way of peace, the way of blessing, is the way of righteousness; but, alas I my brethren, we do not always keep in that way as we should. The psalmist himself felt that he did not, therefore he prayed, —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; He felt that he needed God’s grace in all its saving power.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; that I may see the good of thy chosen that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. This is a suitable prayer for each one of us to pray before we go any further. May God hear the vies of his people as...
