Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth, and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. The steps of a...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. What a beautiful expression that is, “the steps of a good man” — the very steps, the little things, the daily actions, the ordinary progress of a good man, — “The...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he delighteth in his way. God delights to watch the way that his children walk, even though their steps may falter and totter, for they are often like little children learning to walk, and usually they are very weak and feeble. Yet, if it is a good man who is walking as he should walk, God “delighteth in his way.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he delighteth in his way. He loves to see him walk, even as parents delight to watch the first tottering steps of their little children, so that he, who “taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man,” taketh pleasure in the ways of his people.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. There may be a stumble, or even a fall, and he will grieve over it; he may suffer great losses, and he may think that there is an end to his mercies, but it shall not be so. God’s servants are like the sheep; they may fall many times, but they are soon up...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. He is like a little child who does not yet know how to stand alone, so his mother or nurse holds him up, or picks him up if he falls. God’s arms are under his children’s arms, as he says by the mouth of the prophet Hosea, “I taught Ephraim also to go,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:- For a while, it may seem as if he had been finally defeated; things may seem to go altogether wrong with him; but, “though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;”-
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. And we also can still speak of the faithfulness of Jehovah. He who took care of his people in David’s day has not changed since then. We have not seen the righteous forsaken.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. Just going to fall, but in came the interposing hand. Grace catches us up when sin would throw us down.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. David had not seen the seed of the righteous begging bread, but we have often seen it; for, when the seed of the righteous do not behave themselves aright, they have to suffer poverty as well as other people. But, under the old covenant,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. I have been young, and though I am not yet old, I can truly say that I have never seen the righteous forsaken. I have, however, seen the seed of the righteous begging bread. David never saw that sad sight, but then he was a king, so he was...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. It was so unusual a thing that David had never seen, it. I have several times seen the seed of the righteous begging bread, but in every case it has been because of their drunkenness or their laziness, or because of their own vice which they...

The mouth of the righteous speaketh...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Depart from evil, — Do not remain near it, do not even look at it, do not parley with it; run away from it: “Depart from evil,” —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. God has a special regard for the children of believers. Grace does not run in the blood, but it often runs side by side with it. The God of Abraham is the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and the God of Joseph, and the God of Manasseh and Ephraim.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And do good; — For you must do something, either good or evil. If you became an idler, even though you had departed from evil, you would not have become what God would have you to be. Negatives must be backed up with positives: “Depart from evil, and do good;” —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. Not, of course, if they themselves become righteous, for then they come under the covenant of grace, and shall never be cut off.
