Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Notice how long David expected to praise God. He was going to praise God for ever, and then after that, “for ever and ever.” “’Every day will I bless thee,’—that is, when I do not seem to be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will extol thee, my God, O king, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. Such as the Lord is, such should his worship be. If he were a little God, he would deserve little praise; but the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He is great without bound; let him be praised without end. There is no end to his greatness; let there be no end to our adoration.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. The fathers shall be the preachers to their sons, and the sons shall be the preachers to their sons. The flaming torch of Jehovah’s praise shall be passed from hand to hand all down the centuries; as long as men shall live, God...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. There is a hallowed tradition of praise; each generation should hand out the praise of God as a precious legacy to the next one. Train up your sons and daughters to praise your God, so that, when your voice is silent in death, another voice, like your own, may...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, This is a beautiful expression: “I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty.” It is a heaped-up expression. David was in an ecstasy of delight when he wrote it; he did not know how sufficiently to express his adoration of God. Other men might praise God for themselves, but that is not...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And of thy wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. “And I will declare.” Yes, in comes David’s personal note again; he cannot let the praises of God alone, he must take his full share in this heavenly task. I wish that, whenever there was work to do for God, or prayer to be offered...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. “I will speak.” What a powerful speaker David was! Note how he piles up his golden words. He is not content merely to talk of God’s majesty, but he speaks of its “glorious honour.” When he talked of God’s works, he calls them “wondrous works.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: If they will not speak of anything else, they shall be obliged to speak with awe when the terrors of the Lord are abroad in the earth. If they were as dumb as fishes before, they shall begin to say to one another, with bated breath, when earthquakes, and famines, and war, and pestilence are...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, Mark every word in this choice expression: “They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness.” They shall see this goodness, and they shall appreciate it as great goodness; they shall remember it, and so have the memory of God’s great goodness; and then they shall speak of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And shall sing of thy righteousness. The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; He has no passion, but he is full of compassion. What a mercy that is for us! Sometimes we hear persons say that God cannot do this or that,—that he cannot feel, and cannot suffer. That is not true, for he can do anything that he likes. A god who has no feeling is a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. What a beautiful expression! “They shall abundantly utter.” The original has in it the idea of bubbling up, boiling over, bursting out like a fountain; men’s hearts shall get to be so full of gratitude to God that they shall overflow with the memory...

Slow to anger, and of great mercy. Oh, what a blessing it is for you and for me that he is slow to anger!

Hear that, ye great...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. Whether you search for the far-distant with a telescope, or peer into the minute with the microscope, the Lord’s tender mercies are found everywhere. Like the light, without which you see nothing, so is the mercy of God; it enlightens everything: “His tender mercies are over...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The Lord is good to all: Even to his enemies. Does not the dewdrop hang upon the thistle as well as upon the rose? Psa_145:9. And his tender mercies are over all his works. He cares for the worm in the sod and for the fish in the sea as well as for men upon the face of the earth.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee. “Standing in the inner circle, ‘thy saints’ shall mingle their love with their praise, and so ‘shall bless thee.’ Theirs shall be a choicer, tenderer worship than that of all ‘thy works’ besides.” The works of God are like a great organ, but it is man who puts his finger...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saint shall bless thee. Their voices can reach a higher note and a loftier strain than God’s works can ever reach: “thy saints shall bless thee.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; I wish we did speak more of such subjects, and talk more upon these sacred themes. I do not think there is ever any deficiency of talk; but I am afraid there is a very great lack of such talk as this: “They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, For the saints love God as their King, and they rejoice to remember what the King’s Son said to his disciples, “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom;” so well may they sing of it.
