Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! Our praises should be directed to God: “Say unto God.” Our hymns should be a form of speaking unto the Most High, and an ascription unto him of his own glory. The first attribute of God that influences men is the attribute of power, which fills them with terror of his awful majesty and might....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. From the marginal reading of the 3rd verse, it appears that God’s enemies will only “yield feigned obedience” to him; but whether the submission is feigned or real, it shall...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Selah. Here is a little pause for the lifting up of the heart and of the spirit and well there may be, for what a joyful thing it is to think of all the earth worshipping God, and singing unto him! I know of no topic that is more calculated to excite the admiring gratitude of God’s servants than the prospect of the universal supremacy of one God...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They went through the flood on foot; there did we rejoice in him. Perhaps some of you say, “But we were not there.” No, we were not personally there; but do you not remember what the prophet Hosea says about God meeting with Jacob at Bethel? It is written, “There he spake with us.” We were not personally there, yet believers have been everywhere...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He ruleth by his power forever: his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. O bless our God ye people and make the voice of his praise to be heard. Which holdeth our soul in life and suffereth not our feet to be moved. Loudest among the singers should God’s people be. If others can restrain their praise, yet let...

He ruleth by his power forever; What he did in the past, he is still doing in the present, and he will do in the future. Psa_66:7. His eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. The rebellious may for a while exalt themselves; but they will, sooner or later, be pulled down. These eagles may fly as high as they will, but...

Observe the two things that are mentioned here,-living and standing: “Which holdeth our soul in...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net. Entangled, surrounded, captive, held fast. Many of God’s people are in this condition.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. That is, with fierce furnaces, and with carefully graduated heat, for silver needs delicate refining. Christ still sits as the Refiner of silver, patiently watching until the process is complete.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou laidst affliction upon our loins. It was no affliction of hand or foot, but it laid upon our loins — a heavy, crushing burden.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou broughtest us into the net;- Did not our enemies entangle us? Oh, yes; but God often uses our enemies to carry out his divine purposes; he over-rules all things; so, when you are caught in the net, do not sit down, and say that such-and-such a person did it, or that the devil did it. No; but look to the Great First Cause. If you strike a dog...

Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: It was the full ordeal. One was not enough. Fire destroys some, but water is the test for others, but God’s people must be tried both ways. “We went through fire and through water; but” — . Blessed “but.” Psa_66:12. But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place....

We went through fire and through water: They were subjected to double that, for what fire does not burn water will drown, yet God’s people “went through fire and through water.” There is no fire...

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth have spoken, when I was in trouble I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. The best, I think. “The best of the best will I bring thee, O my God. I will bring...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: Here is one worshipper breaking away from the rest,-a child of God who is not satisfied by merely joining in the general praise of the whole assembly, so he brings his own personal thanksgiving and thankoffering to God. Dear brother, dear sister, try to do this. Break away from all the rest of us, and...

With the incense of rams; Not only one of the best, but the best of two kinds of offerings. Psa_66:15. I will offer bullocks with goats. “I will present to thee great services and smaller sacrifices.
