Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. If there are any people in the world who are blessed, surely it must be those who are in God’s way, and who take care to keep their garments unspotted from the world. Oh, if one can feel, at the end of every day, “I am undefiled in God’s way, and I have walked in his law,” how...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. Presumptuous thoughts, erroneous thoughts, wicked thoughts, foolish thoughts,-all three David hated. A good man ought to be a good hater, as well as a good lover. What should he hate? He should hate sin thoughts. What should he love? He should love the law of the Lord. If we do not hate sin in the very...

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. For he that has most of God, yet needs to seek more. We keep the testimonies — those we know, for we are taught of the Lord according to the promise, “All thy children shall be taught of the Lord.” Yet do we still seek more. With our whole heart are we pressing on...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. So that if we do so, we are unprofitable servants. We have done no more than was our duty to do. When his divine grace has renewed us, and has enabled us to walk in all sobriety, and truthfulness, and holiness, even then we have nothing to...

Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. We are to be as industrious in holiness as grasping men are in business. “Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently,” watchfully, carefully, industriously, with all our might.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! The psalmist is driven to prayer. His admiration of the godly man makes him aspire to be like him, and then he feels that he cannot attain to that height without divine help; so he cries, “O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. That is a wide expression, “respect unto all thy commandments.” There are many men who are willing to keep a part of God’s commandments; but they must pick and choose for themselves which these shall be. Such are arrant traitors; there lurks in their heart a distinct...
