Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah. Now the subject of the Psalm changes; but let not the doctrine of the Second Advent pass from our thoughts. Christ will surely come again, but are we all prepared to meet him?...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah. The very heavens, as they look down upon the august assize where God himself, not by deputy, but in the person of his dear Son, shall sit and judge — the heavens shall declare his righteousness. Now I doubt not the heavens often wonder how it is that God permits the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God. It is with his national people, the Jews; it is with his visible Church, God is now dealing. He himself has seen the ways of his professing people: he need not, therefore, call any witnesses. He who cannot err will testify against us; and he...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. Observe what contempt God expresses, in this Psalm, for all mere...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God. Note then that, with all the faults which Christ can find in his people, he is still their God. All the sins of the saints cannot separate them from Christ. They may blot the indenture, but it is only a copy of the covenant made by Christ on...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. He is going to deal with weightier matters than that. Whether they have, or have not, offered abundant sacrifices, that is not the thing which God looks at. “I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices. Nay, I have done with thy sacrifices.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were...

I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. “Do you think that these things in themselves are of any value to me. O ye formalists? I will not even take them.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. Though men call them theirs, yet they are thy God’s.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If any man thinks that he can make God his debtor by any offering that he brings to him, what a great mistake he makes! Whatever you bring to God, you will only bring to him what is already...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? “Think you that there is any offering that man can present to me which can appease my wrath, or give me pleasure?”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: The offering of the heart is better than the gift from the purse. The praise and thanksgiving that come out of the very soul, these God will accept.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High; and call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. See the three ways of praising God. One is by giving him your grateful thanksgiving. Banish your murmurings; sweep away your mistrusts; and let your mouth be filled with his praise all the day...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me. But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? There were, in those days, wicked priests who taught the people what they did not themselves practice, just as there are, in these...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Thus you see God has spoken to his professing people — to those who were moral, decent, and observant of outward ritual. He now turns to some others — some others, perhaps, quite as outwardly religious, but their lives were immoral; their conduct was a breach...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Unconverted preachers, unsaved Sabbath-school teachers, what answer can you give to this question of the Most High?
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Your unholiness, even though you were of the tribe of Levi, would disqualify you from declaring my statutes. Your mouth full of slander, how should you dare to use it to speak of my covenant with it?
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son. How then canst thou hope to please...
