Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. The nearer they came to him, the more is their awe of him; the greater their love, the deeper is their humility. God will not have those about him who are flippant and irreverent; he is “to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. He lets them arise, and he bids them sink down again. All the providential...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. Rahab was Egypt. The word means “strong”, “mighty”, “proud”, all of which were the characteristics of Egypt, which God brake in pieces at the Red Sea. Pharaoh was the greatest of monarchs at the time, but, oh, how soon he had to yield...

The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon— East and West, as well as North and South, — Psa_89:12. Shall rejoice in thy name. There is not a place where God is not to be found.

Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Amid all the varying expressions that the psalmist uses, he continues to admire and magnify God’s majestic might.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: There are many that hear it, but perhaps not one out of a thousand of them that really know it.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. Even in God’s righteousness.
