She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There to a river, the stream whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the most High.

And now we have the inspired Book,...

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

Here the psalmist invites us to behold what God has done in...
