Psalms 116:16

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid; thou hast loosed my bonds. What a sweet thing to be the servant of God. Well does David say it twice over. Well does he delight to look upon himself as a slave that was born in his Master’s house. “My mother,” says he, “was one of thy servants. I am the son of thy...

Psalms 116:17

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. Now David has grown into a priest, offering sacrifices.

Psalms 116:17

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. He has been doing it. What a man has done he will do. Oh! it is a blessed thing that the children of God at last catch a habit of devotion. Just as the sinner continues in his sin, so may I venture to say, “Shall the Ethiopian change his skin, or the...

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, in the courts of the LORD’S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. Or, “Hallelujah!” I cannot close this reading without remarking how often my ears are shocked with the blasphemous way in which this thrice-holy word is dragged into the mire,—“Hallelujah...

Psalms 118:1

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Now, do that, dear friends. Before we read another verse let us do that. In your hearts think of the goodness and mercy of God to you-to each one as an individual, and give him thanks now: no murmuring, no coldness of heart. Cast out everything, and give God thanks...

Psalms 118:1

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Here is a standing reason for thanksgiving. Although we may not always be healthy, nor always prosperous yet God is always good, and, therefore, there is always a sufficient argument for giving thanks unto Jehovah. That he is a good God essentially, that he cannot be...

Psalms 118:2-3

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. These were specially set apart for God’s service, and, therefore, where much is given, much is expected. The house of Aaron, therefore, must have a special note of thanksgiving, and though we who preach the gospel claim no sort...

The LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? “What is man? He is but as the dust before God, and, when God is with us and takes care of us, what can man, that is as a moth, do to God’s preserved ones?

Psalms 118:5

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. I think many of us could make just such a record as that and not once but many times in our lives, we could say, “I called upon the Lord in distress.” We have had many trials, but we have a mercy-seat always to fly to, and a God always ready to hear the cries of...
