Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. When there is a great rain at sea, there is a peculiar kind of noise, as if the deep above were talking to the deep below. “Deep calleth unto deep; and sometimes, the two deeps clasp hands, and then there is what we call a waterspout. The...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: Heaven’s troubles and earth’s trials seem to clasp hands and form a waterspout. The deep of thy dark purposes seems to echo to the deep of human malice and Satanic wrath. “Deep calleth to deep.” Psa_42:7. All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Thou haste concentrated an ocean upon my...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts; all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. They are God’s waves and God’s billows; so he will not mind them. Our Father rules the stormiest deeps, and the noisiest depths of the soul only speak as he permits them. Be of good cheer.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Here is a great storm; here is a man, not merely on the sea, but in the sea; with not only some waves beating upon him, but with all of them going over him; and those not common waves, but God’s waves. That is a Hebraism for the biggest waves,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. We shall not only have day-time grace, but night-time grace, too: “In the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.” What a sweet title that is, “The God of my life,” the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Yet. Oh! what a glorious “yet” that is. How it swims! Never was there a swimming suit like that which is made of hope. Psa_42:8. The LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. How dear God gets to be to a gracious man in the time of trouble. Just now he...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? He had tried his “whys” on himself. Now he comes with his “whys” to his God, and God will...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? See what liberties saints take with God; how they reason with him, how they argue with...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? He had been talking too much to himself; now he talks with his God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Notice how the...

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Rather monotonous this. “Where is thy God?” is all they can say. They are rather short of wit when they must always hang on to the same old taunt. If ever you hear of a new heresy, it is only an old heresy with a new soul put to it.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: For I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. It is curious to see the duplicate man here; he talks to himself as “thou,”...

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. This exposition consisted of readings from Matthew 15.; and Psalms 42.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. For thou art the God of my strength: In the previous Psalm, David had called the Lord the God of his life. Now he calls him the God of his strength. We generally sing ourselves up. We may begin in a very low key, as David did, but if we...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: “My exceeding joy,”--exceeding all the other joys I have,--exceeding still the joys...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. It was not enough for David to say, “O God;” he cries, “O God my God.” You cannot praise another man’s God. Possession is not only nine points of the law, but it is all the points of the gospel.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance and my God. May the Lord comfort his mourning people by such words as these!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. Now Israel was restored to Canaan, and the Canaanite and Perizzite were driven out, that God’s chosen people might occupy their appointed place.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. They did use their...
