Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. Turn back for a minute to the eighth verse: “Arise, O Jehovah, into thy rest.” This exclamation was very similar to the language...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Arise, O LORD into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let us pray that the Lord may constantly find rest in the midst of his people. He finds rest in them because they are one with his well-beloved Son. Come, Lord, at this moment, and take thy rest in the midst of this assembly, and make us all rest in thee.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; This is the best robe for all God’s holy ones, who are priests and kings unto him; this is better than snow white linen or robes bedecked with crimson and gold. Psa_132:9. And let thy saints shout for joy. The worship of God should be very gladsome and even demonstrative. We may shout. Sometimes...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. Much more may we ask this for our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake. O God, remember thy Son, our Lord and our King, and for his sake look in love and pity upon us today !
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it, Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. That was literally fulfilled in a long line of kings, but it is more gloriously fulfilled in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. David the prophet-king is dead; but he, seeing before that God would raise up Christ, laid hold...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David, he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. Long did the house of David reign over Israel; but they proved unfaithful, and therefore...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. And so it would have been; the kingdom of Israel would never have been broken up, either by internal rebellion or external attack, if it had not been that the kings flagrantly turned aside from God. He bore...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. Here are some of the sweetest words that ever were written; there are fathomless depths of sweetness in them, for here we have the truth concerning the election of the Church of God: “The Lord hath chosen Zion.” Some men cannot endure to hear the doctrine of election — I suppose...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. The literal Zion was the Lord’s habitation for a time, but the spiritual Zion will be his dwelling place throughout eternity.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
This is my rest for ever: Is it not wonderful that God, Jehovah, should say of his people, “This is my rest for ever”? Now, if he rests, I am sure that we may. It is very remarkable that, when God was making the world, he never rested till he had fitted it up for his child, and everything was ready for Adam. God never stopped his work till there...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. God rests in his people; the whole company of the redeemed shall be his abiding place for ever.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will abundantly bless her provision: By which I understand that there will be provision, that there will be abundant provision, and that there will be abundant blessing on that provision. God grant that we may always find it so! Let us plead this precious “I will:” “I will abundantly bless her provision? Psa_132:15. I will satisfy her poor with...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will abundantly bless her provision: will satisfy her poor with bread. God sends the needful provision for his people, and sends his blessing with it. We are so poor that we have not even spiritual bread for our souls to eat unless he gives it to us; but here is his gracious promise, “ I will satisfy her poor with bread.” This he will do both...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. The prayer in the 8th verse was, “Arise, O Lord, into thy rest.” In the 14th verse, we read the answer, “This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell.” Then in the 9th verse was the petition, “Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness.” Now the Lord gives...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints, shall shout aloud for joy. In the 9th verse we had a silver prayer, but here, in this 16th verse, we have a golden answer. The prayer of the psalmist was, “ Let thy saints shout for joy;” the Lord’s answer is, “Her saints shall shout aloud for joy.” God always gives good measure,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There will I make the horn of David to bud: As a stag’s horn grows, putting out fresh buds and branches, so shall the power of David be increased and enlarged. We see that promise fulfilled spiritually in the growing Kingdom of Christ. Psa_132:17. I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. His name shall never go out like an extinguished lamp. If...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. Oh, that today the horn of David might again bud! May every believer in Jesus feel the life of God reviving within him, and in many a case where there is no spiritual life at all may life divine begin today ! Pray for it, beloved; and then look for it, and you...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
His enemies will I clothe with shame: In this Psalm two sets of clothing are mentioned; and you can have which you like. Here is one, “I will clothe her priests with salvation;” and there is the other, “His enemies will I clothe with shame? Shame is a terrible thing, many a man has thrown away his life to try to escape from the shame of a guilty...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish. We have no King but Jesus and his crown is always flourishing. It wears well upon a blessed head. Let us crown him once again this day with our gladsome praise and thanksgiving.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Praise ye the LORD. Or, “Hallelujah.” “Hallelujah” is the key-note of it. So this is one of the Hallelujah Psalms, for so it begins; and if you look at the end, you will see that so it closes. There is “Hallelujah” again. The whole Psalm is shut in at the beginning and at the end with this which is both our duty and our delight: “Praise ye the...
