Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Who giveth food to all flesh: There is food for you, then, poor hungry one; there is food for you, child of God. He, “who giveth food to all flesh,” can certainly give food to all spirits.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. Babylon was full of canals and rivers; the captive Israelites sought out lonely places where they might be away front their oppressors, and might in the company of their countrymen pour out the sad stream...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. As no cups except those that were taken out of God’s holy house would do for Belshazzar when he wanted to make himself drank, so no music would suit these heathen captors of Israel but the songs...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
How shall we sing the LORD’S song in a strange land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. “No,” they said, “if we were to make mirth for the Babylonians, we should be doing serious damage to Zion, we should be traitors to Jerusalem;” so the harpers said, “Sooner than we will play a tune to make mirth for you, let...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;- They said it each one for himself; they would sooner be dumb than sing these sacred songs for the amusement of the ungodly revelers who had gathered round about them. Instead of a song, they offered a prayer which must have sounded terribly in the ears of those who mocked...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
If I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. These Edomites, who ought to have been like brothers to the Jews, were their most ferocious enemies, and they stirred up the Chaldeans to be more terribly cruel than they...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed: happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. For these people had gone all over the world, wherever they could, murdering and mutilating. Tens of thousands of little children had they brutally killed,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. Before the heathen gods, however highly exalted — I will sing thy praises so in their very teeth; and the magistrates and princes and kings who think themselves gods on earth — I will not fear them or be silenced by them.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will praise thee with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. We cannot be too much occupied in the praises of God. He rightly deserves all the thanksgivings we can bring to him. It is the great engagement of heaven; let us begin the music here. If we would be heavenly-minded on earth, we must be filled with the praises of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. “Gods or no gods, whatever they may be, ‘I will praise thee with my whole heart,’ I will not be ashamed to declare my confidence in Jehovah, whoever may listen to me.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. For thou wert far more glorious in revelation than in creation — thy promise did greatly transcend every other display of thyself above all we have ever known or conceived of thee. Thou hast...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will worship toward thy holy temple, That was God’s way of worship. In the old times there was the shrine of God. There was the one altar which world render praise acceptable. David takes care to render praise to God in God’s way: and that is a great principle in worship — to avoid will-worship, and to endeavor to present sacrifices such as God...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Above all thy name. In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. Ah! this is what ties a man to praise. Answered prayer is sure to lead us to adoring gratitude. Notice that he says that God answered him, not by taking away his trouble, but by strengthening him with strength in his soul. You see it...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Now was his time to speak. The gods of the heathen had their worshippers; then, should Jehovah be deserted by his loyal subjects? “No,” says David, “I will worship thee, and I will praise thee,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. That is a thing to make a man King — when in the day of trouble God comes to him, hears his prayer and works his deliverance, when none else can help. God’s rescues demand our grateful songs: his deliverances our new anthems of exultant praise.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. What worshipper of idols could ever say that of his god? “Ears have they,” but they bear not the cries of their worshippers. “Hands have they,” but they cannot deliver those who cry to them. “Feet have they,” but they cannot come to the help of their...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. When thy gospel is preached, and they know it, they shall count it their honour to honour thee. It is ignorance of its glory and grace that makes silence possible: but to hear it as God’s word of caring love is to be compelled to extol.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD. David was a king, and kings would learn from him. You and I are not kings, but we may exercise a very beneficial influence in our own circle of acquaintances if we make bold...
