Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Or, “in holiness.” God’s way is always a holy way, a righteous way. Psa_77:13. Who is so great a God as our God? When we think of the greatness of God, if we simply dwell upon his power, we make a mistake. The greatness of God lies mainly in his moral attributes, in his completeness, his wholeness, his holiness.

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. Whenever the Hebrew mind was full of exulting joy concerning God’s greatness and might, it seemed inevitably to turn back to Egypt and the Red Sea. Just as we, believers in Jesus, love to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. See how the psalmist comforts himself with what God had done; and he went right back to the Red Sea for his illustration.

Who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. Oh! if we could all tell out what God has done for us, we could prove it true that God has declared his strength among us; the might of his grace has he displayed in our case.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. “Selah” again.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. There is no song like that of redemption. Whatever our troubles may be if we are trusting in Christ, we are a redeemed people. Whatever our sins or infirmities, or imperfections, we are a redeemed people, like Israel of old. They were redeemed by power, as well as...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph Selah. The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob an Joseph. Saints in the olden times were very fond of falling back upon the redemption of Israel out of Egypt. It was a favorite subject of their contemplation; it yielded them great comfort, and very, very frequently they turned it into sacred song. Now in heaven we shall do the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. At the very sight of God the sea began to flee, to lay bare its depths. “The floods stood upright as an heap,” in their fear and dread of the presence of God, “and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

The skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. Thy way is in the sea,— Where you cannot see his footprints; “in the sea,” where there seems to be no way at all, there God makes a highway.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. Not foreknown. Who could have foretold that God would lead his people through the sea? His footsteps are not now to be found. God’s ways we cannot guess; and even when we have seen them, we cannot understand them. Child of God, does the sea roll before you...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. There the Psalm stops, just when you thought there was more to be said. The Holy Spirit knows how to leave off, and he closes abruptly with a sublimity seldom equaled. God’s people need to know no more than this,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. Moses and Aaron did not lead them; God led his people, “like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.” Here the Psalm breaks off with great abruptness. Had it been a human composition, it would have been rounded off with great discretion; but God knows best where to stop. I...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They had every opportunity of serving their God; he had provided them with fit weapons for the war, but they were cowardly, so they “turned back in the day of battle.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; and forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. Let each one of us ask, “Does the psalmist describe me?”
