Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? Come, what think you? Will such a loving, faithful God as ours cast off for ever? Can you harbour such a thought concerning him? Will he be favorable no more after all the favor he has already shown? Can he change?...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? Is his mercy clean gone for ever?

Will the Lord cast off for ever? Has he ever done so? He may seem to cast off for a little while; but “Will the Lord cast off for ever?” Psa_77:7. And will he be favourable no more? It is a long lane that has no turning. The Lord may take down the rod; but will he always use it? Will he always chide?
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fall for evermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. If you are a child of God, yet never had to ask these questions, you ought to be very grateful; but if you have to ask them,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Is his mercy clean gone for ever? If his favor is gone, yet is his mercy gone? Does not the Psalm say, “His mercy endureth for ever”? If I cannot claim favor as a saint, may I not hope for mercy as a sinner? “Is his mercy clean gone for ever?” Psa_77:8. Doth his promise fail for evermore? Oh, what a question that is! God’s promise may tarry, but...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Is his mercy clean gone for ever? We sing, “His mercy endureth for ever;” is that a lie? Can it be? Psa_77:8. Doth his promise fail for evermore? Does it ever fail at all? And if it does tarry a while, will it always wait? Will God be found untrue at last? Come, children of God, in your trouble face these questions, and answer them; for you must...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? What hot shots these are for unbelief!

Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. Can it be so? Was it ever so to any...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Is he the same God that he used to be? Or has he been overtaken with a fit of forgetfulness? Has he a failing memory, like yours and mine? Psa_77:9. Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. Can it be? Has he not said, “as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I...

Selah. And I said, When I came to reckon all up, and make a righteous judgment; when I bid my fears lie still awhile, and let me listen to reason, I said: —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. “But I will remember” is added by the translator. Surely it was to the psalmist an infirmity to be thus in trouble; he called it Benoni, son of sorrow; but it was not infirmity to God; he called it Benjamin, son of the right hand. There is a sort of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I said, This is my infirmity: And so it is. Worse than that; it is sometimes our iniquity, our sin, to think such hard things of God. But inasmuch as faith was there, battling, struggling, and striving, the little temporary victory which unbelief seemed to gain was the result of infirmity. Psa_77:10. But I will remember the years of the right...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I said, This is my infirmity: “This is a trouble appointed to me, I must bear it.” Or, “This is because of the weakness of my faith.

But I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. “I will remember what God has done with that right hand of his....

This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. Think of what God has done for his people, how he has delivered them, how he has lifted them from the dunghill, and set them among the princes, even among the princes of his people. Think of his wonders of grace, and be no more discouraged.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Or better, “Thy way is in holiness.” What thou doest is right, my God. I feared and trembled, but now I know it is so.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Or, “is in holiness.” God’s way is sometimes in the sea, but it is always a holy way.
