Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. O God, thou hast taught me from my youth. Here is the same kind of argument again: “ O Lord, I went to school to thee, so I must teach others what thou hast taught me.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. I pray very earnestly for you young people, and I beg you to pray for yourselves, that you may have the great privilege of being able to say, with the psalmist, “O God, thou hast taught me from my youth.” They make good scholars who go to school early, and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. “Thou madest me a preacher, and I have stuck to my word. Hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.’”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. Old men ought to tell to younger men what God has done for them. There is great weight in the testimony of a godly man of ripe experience. Full of years, he speaks of what he knows, and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation and thy power to every one that is to come. Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, “Thou...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! The more we know of God, the less we think of all others. We sink ourselves out of sight, and all other creatures seem to be as nothing in comparison with our God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. This we shall experience in part even in our present lifetime; but we shall much more fully experience it on the resurrection morning, — “When Christ his risen saints shall bring From beds of dust, and silent clay,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. “Though I seem to be like a man buried in the depth of the earth thou wilt bring me up again.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. Think of poor old David talking like this when he was driven into exile, and many of his former friends had forsaken him: “’Thou shalt increase my greatness.’ I shall get good out of this evil; I shall rise by this fall; I shall be a gainer by these losses.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. I will also praise thee- God blessing us, and we in return blessing him, so it ought to be. The more God does for us, the more we ought to do for him, is it not so, brother? Is not this good argument? Art thou carrying it out? Let thy conscience answer.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: “When I have proved thy truth; when my joyful experience has proved that every promise of thine is true to thy servant, then I will praise both thyself and thy truth, O my God.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; That is the best kind of praise to God when our very lips are happy in singing, when we do not merely sibilate the sound, but when the meaning wells up from our heart, and our lips are glad to sing it out.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
With the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp. O thou Holy One of Israel. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee. Singing unto God ought to be the gladdest of exercises, when it is done in a doleful, dolorous way, it is not singing, but groaning.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And my soul, which thou hast redeemed. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame that seek my hurt.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And my soul, which thou hast redeemed. “The sprinkled blood is on my soul, and therefore it shall leap for joy. Rescued from captivity, bought back from slavery, “my soul, which thou hast redeemed; shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son. “Give the king thy judgments, O God.” The right to reign was transmitted by descent from David to Solomon, but not by that means alone: Israel was a theocracy, and the kings were but the viceroys of the greater King; hence the prayer that the new king might be enthroned...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son. So it is decreed, and so it has been accomplished, that Jesus, who is both a King and a King’s son, should have all judgment delivered into his hand. And now at this time Christ is the judge. It is he who discerns between the precious and the vile. He sits as King in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son. Our Lord Jesus Christ is both a King and the Son of a King. He is King of kings, and therefore our Sovereign by his own native right; but he is also our sovereign Prince as the Son of God. Oh, that the Lord would visibly give into his hands power over all the people of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son. He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. It is the distinguishing mark of Christ’s kingdom that he cares so much for the poor, whereas in other kingdoms they are generally pushed to the wall, and men of great estate and consequence get...
