Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. We hold up Christ before his Father, and say to him, — “Him, and then the sinner see; Look through Jesus’ wounds on me.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. Look upon the face of Christ, O God, for he is “thine Anointed” ! “Him, and then the sinner see; Look through Jesus’ wounds on me.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. Of course, the psalmist means that a day in God’s courts is better than a thousand spent anywhere else. See how he contrasts nearly three years with a single day, and he might have gone even further, and said, “Better be one day with God than a thousand years without him.” He gives us another...

Feasting and rioting with the ungodly are not worthy to be compared with feasting and praising in the courts of God’s house. Psa_84:10. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. I hope...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. That is, better than a thousand spent anywhere else. You see, we have not yet come to the country where we can keep at God’s public worship all the year together, we have to get it a day at a time. Have you not often wished that there were seven Sundays in the week? I am sure that you have when...

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Take notice of the whole of that last sentence; do not go and quote half of it, and say, “God has promised that he will withhold no good thing.” It is only promised to “them that walk uprightly”; and if you walk...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Lord, thou hast been favourable unto the land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. Whenever you are in a low state of mind or heart, remember God’s past lovingkindnesses. Recall the record of what he has done for his people in ages long gone by, for he is the same God for ever and ever, and, therefore, what he has done in the past, he...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. What a sweet subject for our meditation we found, last Lord’s-day morning, in those words of the psalmist, “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities”! Now, if God has indeed blotted out the sin of his people, at a plea this is to use with him for all that we still...

Thou host taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. “Thou didst stay thy bow even after it was bent.

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? “Surely we have not got into eternity yet. Lord, do not have eternal anger toward us. ‘Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?’ Wilt thou not hear our prayers?
