Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Note the connection here between God and man, the very same Person who is addressed as God, is also spoken of as anointed by...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter. This could not have been said of Solomon; for he was never called God. It refers to none other than Christ the King, whose throne is for ever and ever.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Fellow with us and yet equal with God. Man anointed, the Christ, yet still the reigning God. Glory be to his name.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Christ is no neutral. He loves righteousness, and hates wickedness. He is like fire in all that he does. There is about him a certain strength of heart, both to love and to hate; and it is for this reason that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: Thy maids of honour, for all those who truly...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. Not only is Christ precious, but everything that touches him. There is not a garment that hangs upon his shoulder but becomes sweet by contact with him. “All thy garments smell of myrrh.” There is myrrh about the priestly robe that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. The very clothes of Christ are precious to believers. “Unto you that believe he is preciousness.” But even his very garments are savoured with it, whether he puts on his priestly robes, or his royal garniture, or his prophetic...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. Hearken, O daughter, and consider, — Listen, each one of you who are a part of this matchless bride of Christ, ye who are...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. Blessed queen of Christ, — his church. Let us never think little of her. There are some that are always crying up “the church,” “the church,” “the church”; but that is not the true church that tries to take the place of Christ. It is...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. No one is so honoured as the one who waits upon the Saviour. They are honourable women that minister to him of their substance, that are often found in his temple, like Anna of old. These are kings’ daughters, every one of them. And, as for...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. In the best and purest gold. Every member of the Church of Christ may well say, with Dr. Watts, — “Strangely, my soul, art thou array’d By the great Sacred Three”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; We cannot know Christ thoroughly unless we leave off knowing the world. There must be a forgetting as well as a remembering. We are to forget our father’s house come right out from it. If Christ is to love his Church, it must be a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; God’s message to his people in the world today is just what it was when the Spirit bade Paul write to the Corinthians, “Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a father unto you,...

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; so shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. Though the Church has been brought up in the world, she is to be separated from it. The more distinction there can be between Christians and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: We were thinking of his beauty. But see: when once we see the beauty of Christ, Christ puts a beauty upon us; and when we learn the beauties of Christ, we soon see beauties in his Church. I find that those who at the Church of God have not any very high esteem of the Church’s Head; but when he is...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. Our Saviour is our King, and he must be both loved and adored; “He is thy Lord; and worship thou him.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; Well, but she is a heathen; she is a trafficker. What does she know about the king of Israel? Ah! but when Israel owns her king — when the Church of Christ delights in Christ, and dotes upon him, she shall have converts in plenty, from the least likely places. Psa_45:12. Even the rich among the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour. The day is coming when the Church of Christ shall be honoured by all men. The merchant princes, who now esteem her as a thing of naught, shall come with their tribute to her, and those who once despised her shall entreat her favor.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. Who has wrought it but her King, whose own right hand has hammered out the precious fabric, and then has taken every golden thread and, with his own bleeding hand, has wrought it into a sacred vesture that shall outlast the stars. “Her clothing is of wrought gold.”
