Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And talk of thy power; to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. What is the use of preaching if it does not glorify God? What is the use of a tongue that does not speak or sing of the glory of God’s...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. See how David keeps to the subject with which he began the Psalm: “I will extol thee, my God, my king.” Ay, and he sings about the King all through this Psalm. His great object is to make us see that there never was such a King as the infinitely-glorious...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, Other kingdoms come and go; they last during their little day, and then they vanish away. Look, for instance, at the kingdom of Alexander the Great, who only reigned for about twelve years, and when he died left no successor. We talk of great earthly monarchies; they are but monarchies of an hour compared...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. This is his glory; this is the majesty of the King of kings, that he takes notice of the poor and weak. The compassion of God is to a great extent the glory of God. That he has such tender mercies toward the unworthy, is the subject of the loudest of our songs: “Jehovah...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. Does not this seem to be a singular change in the strain? The Lord is a King, and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; yet what is he doing? Why, he is upholding, propping up those that are ready to fall, and lifting up those that are crushed and oppressed. Earthly...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The eyes of all wait upon thee; What a King is this, who must needs feed all his subjects, and who must have all his subjects depend upon himself alone! “The eyes of all wait upon thee;”— Psa_145:15. And thou givest them their meat in due season. It is an act of grace, not of debt: “Thou givest them their meat.” Did you ever think of the vast...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfied the desire of every living thing. What a glorious God we have! How easily can he supply the needs of his people! He has but to open his hand, and it is done! We need not be afraid to come to him, as though our needs would be too...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. As men feed doves in their courtyard, carrying down to them their little handful of food, and opening the hand to pour it out, so does God feed all living creatures readily and easily enough by the simple opening of his hand. But he does it. He satisfies the desire of every...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his work. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. As the omnipresent Deity, the Lord is not far from any one of us; but there is a peculiar nearness of God to his people,—a nearness of knowledge, a nearness of affection, a nearness of heart by...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. This is a thing for which many modern divines do not praise God. The attribute of righteousness in the character of God is expelled from a good deal of modern theology. But he, who loves God aright, loves the righteousness of God. I would not care to have even salvation if it were...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. If you read this Psalm through carefully, you will notice the great number of “alls” with which the latter part of the Psalm is studded; and this is appropriate, for God is All-in-all, he is the One, the All, so let him have all praise from all.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: “He will fulfill”—he will fill full—“the desire of them that fear him.” If you fear him, you need not fear any lack; indeed, you have nothing at all that you need to fear.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He also will hear their cry, and will save them. The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. These two things always go together; as surely as the Lord does the one, he will do the other. While he preserves his saints, he will certainly destroy the wicked.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. When you have respect to God’s will, God will have respect to your will. When you fear him, you will have no one else to fear, and when you make his service your delight, he will make your wants his care.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. As in a state of sanitary perfection, everything that breeds miasma and disease is banished, so must it be in God’s great universe, when he has completed his works “all the wicked will he destroy.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: God move us each one to do this! Then with the psalmist we may fitly say,— Psa_145:21. And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Praise ye the LORD. Or, “Hallelujah.” I am sorry to see that great word, Hallelujah, Hallelu-Jah, praise to Jah, Jehovah, become so hackneyed as it is, by talk about “Hallelujah lasses”, and Hallelujah — I know not what. The Jews will not even pronounce the word Jah, or write it; it seems a great pity that it should be thus draggled in the dirt by...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. I will lisp his praises when I can do no more; when my being seems to be dried up, in the weakness of the death-throe, still, “I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. What is the connection here between praising God and not trusting man? Why, this connection, that we never praise God better than by exercising faith in him! Quiet trust is among the sweetest music that reaches the heart of God; and when we put our trust in man, we rob...
