Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. What made God speak in those terrible tones?

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me; for they were too strong for me. Is that the reason why God interposed on David’s behalf? Then let all his weak children find comfort in the fact that, when our enemies are too strong for us, God will come and deliver us. Let us be thankful for burdens that are too heavy for us to...

He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. What sayest thou to that, believer?
