Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Trust ye in the LORD for ever: Not sometimes, but always; not for a certain number of days during your season of trial, but if the trial should last a lifetime, “trust ye in the Lord for ever.” Isa_26:4. For in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: If he could fail you, you would do well to be looking out for another shelter; but since his...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The lofty city, he layeth it low; No one can lay God’s city low, but God can lay the lofty city low.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. God “weighs the path of the just” in scales. We read elsewhere that God weighs the spirits, and weighs...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. This is always God’s way,-overturning the great and the proud, and casting down the mighty works of men, so that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. You see, there is one city which God builds, and another city which he pulls down. Observe this solemn truth:”...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. God makes a plain path for his own people; and he, knowing their way, forms a right estimate of it. Let them never fear for a moment that he will condemn them because of the condemnation of their fellow men; he takes care himself to weigh the path of the just,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The way of the just is uprightness: Or, as it might be better rendered, “The way of the just is an even path.” The righteous shall steadily and safely stand in it, while others find themselves sometimes up and sometimes down, and their path shall be slippery and perilous. Isa_26:7. Thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. God judges us...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

Alas! it is...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; Some poor darkened spirit will, I trust, be able to join in this utterance of the prophet. It is night-time with you now; you are not enjoying the light of God’s...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. There are none so blind as...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. LORD, thou...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. Until men are changed in heart, and renewed in nature, they will not see God. If you could transport them to the land of uprightness, where there would be no sin to tempt them, yet...

LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. There are some people who will not see; and, as the old proverb hath it, there are none so blind as those that will not see; but they will one day be made to see, if not to their...

LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. You know what our Lord Jesus said concerning the rich man, “In hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his, bosom.” He would not look...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
LORD, those wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. That is a delightful verse. Here is an ordination spoken of; for God has ordained peace for his people, and they must have it, and they shall have it. On the other hand, his people ordain glory for him, for they declare, “Thou also hast wrought all our works in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: We may be attacked and assailed for a little while, we may be tossed to and fro; but “Thou wilt ordain peace for us:” Isa_26:12. For thou also hast wrought all our works in us. We have no works in which we can glory; for even if we have an abundance of good works, they are all God’s work in us, and we give him...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou, hast increased the...
