Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: He is essentially good. His name God is only a shorter form of good. Yet, if we were to lengthen it, there could be no more goodness found in it than is found in the three letters, “God.” Psa_107:1. For his mercy endureth for ever. That is the form which his goodness takes in relation to us, his sinful...

And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
