Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with only mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. “I mixed crying and singing together. I cried when I was in trouble, and I extolled the Lord as soon as he delivered me from it. Nay, by faith expecting to be delivered, I began to extol him...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: but verily God hath heard me; It is a blessed thing to be able to say that; and if you can truthfully say it, I pray you to say it: “Verily God hath heard me.” Some people tell us that there is no such thing as an answer to prayer; they say that it is a piece of superstition on our part....

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. That is the way to move,—God first, and his people following closely after him.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. The courtiers of God ought to be clad in the silks of joy, and to be bright with the jewelry of rejoicing.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. In the wilderness, the Israelites were like a company of fatherless people: but God was their Protector, and in all their trials and dangers...

God setteth the solitary in families he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. They had been in a sad condition in Egypt, scattered and driven hither and thither. God promised to bring them all together, in great families, and richly to bless them.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: the earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. If the translators had given us the original words, we should have valued this Psalm much more, for it...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. It rained manna, and it rained quails.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The Lord— Or, Adonai— Psa_68:11. Gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. When God speaks, he always has publishers of his message. Our Lord found a woman at the well, and sent her back to the men of the city as his messenger, and he will find many others before his work is all done.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. Though ye have lien among the pots,— Grimy among the brick kilns, covered with clay, and black with smoke,—despised, rejected, earthbound,—“ Though ye have lien among the pots,”—

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. Driven from the bare, bleak mountain-side in gusts like feathers, the snow flies before the wind; and so, when God scatters the mighty, they cannot resist him: “It was as snow in Salmon.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. This hill of Zion is not high at all, it is a mere knoll compared with the lofty peaks; yet it was highly favored. So, to carnal eyes, Christ’s kingdom on earth was little in comparison with the kingdoms of this world; yet, in the sight of God, it is greater than all of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it forever. There are grander places than Zion, but if God chooses to dwell there, his presence gives her a glory and a greatness that no other spot can have. The forces at the disposal of Zion’s King are boundless; note how the psalmist...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

As the ark went up the hill of Zion, so has Christ ascended...

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death. All glory be to his thrice-blessed name for all that this verse includes!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But God shall wound the head: of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: Wherever his people may have gone, God will bring them all together again, “from Bashan,” or “from the depths of the sea.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of the dogs in the same. They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after, among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. Bless ye God in the congregations, even the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Save me, O God; for the waters are come into my soul. The waves have not only teased the bank, but they have dashed over the bulwarks, and there is a flood within, as well as a flood without.
