Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. And so he did; there was never such acceptance given to any burnt sacrifice as was given to our Divine Lord when he covered up himself.
Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. This God did to his dear Son, and this he is prepared to do to all his people. Whenever we give anything to the cause of God, we ought to do it with all that solemnity and all that willingness which was seen in God’s own people in the olden time; remembering that it is to him we...
Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel. Is it not written, “Prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised”? Here, then, is a suitable prayer for you to present on behalf of the Lord Jesus,— that God would grant him according to his own heart, and fulfill all his counsel.
Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel. We cannot pray this for everybody. We do pray it for Christ, and we pray it for the Lord’s sanctified people, that he may grant them the desire of their heart, and fulfill their counsel.
We will rejoice in thy salvation, Come, brothers and sisters, let us make this verse true; and even if we have anything to sigh over, let us lay it aside while we now devote ourselves to the happy work of rejoicing in the glorious salvation of our Lord and King.
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions. Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen:...
We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions. What a wonderful prayer this is! May it be granted to each of you! “The Lord fulfill all thy petitions.”
Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Save, LORD: Or, “Hosanna.”
Let the king hear us when we call. Now turn to the Psalm of victory. It corresponds very beautifully with the litany which we have just been reading. This exposition consisted of readings from PSALMS 20. and 21.
The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. God gave to Jesus the strength needed to accomplish the work which he came to do, and he is daily giving him to see of the travail of his soul that he may be...
The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! See how greatly Christ rejoices, how full his heart is of gladness as he sees God’s power put forth, and God’s salvation accomplished among men.
Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast, not with holden the request of his lips. Selah. For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: That is to say, “Thou goest before him,” as you have seen, in pictures, some great conqueror preceded by those who strewn his path with roses, so has God strewn the pathway of Christ with...
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: They go before him, like scouts or forerunners. Wherever Jesus comes, the blessings of goodness fly before him to the sons of men. Psa_21:3. Thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. Let us crown him afresh tonight with our poor garlands of praise, while God sets a crown of pure gold...
Thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. Is he not of royal race? Has he not achieved a mighty conquest? Is he not King of kings and Lord of lords?
He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. And because he lives, we shall live also; the Father hath given to him to have life in himself, and hence he communicates of that life to us who believe in him.
He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. “Thou gavest him a resurrection from the dead as our Mediator, and as such he lives.”
His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. Heaped it on him. There is no one so worthy of honour as our Lord Jesus is; none are so majestic as the Man of sorrows who once bowed his head to death on his people’s behalf.
His glory is great in thy salvation: It is the distinguishing mark of God’s salvation that Christ’s glory is great in it. In the beginning, and the middle, and the end of it, everywhere you see the name of Jesus written large in letters of light. In his salvation, the Father has glorified his Son.
Honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: That very hand that was nailed to the tree shall find out all...
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. The Father rewards him for all his service: “Thou hast made him most blessed for ever.” We cannot imagine how great is the joy of Christ as his Father smiles upon him: “Thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.”
