Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. Every day speaks to the following one, even as the day that went before it spoke to it, and each day has its own message. Its history is an echo of the voice of God, and if man had but ears to hear, he would perceive that the things which happen from day to day proclaim the...

[There is] no speech nor language [where] their voice is not heard,.... Not the voice of the day and night; as if the sense was, that there is no people, of any speech or language under the sun, but there is something said every day and night of the weather, what it is, or will be, as the face of the heavens appears morning and evening: but of the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard, Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. All men must hear God’s voice in nature if they are only willing to do so. Paul wrote to the Romans, “The invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. Though nature does not speak, yet its words go to the ends of the earth; and, silently, they sing the- praises of God. To the inner ears of an enlightened man, there is a measure of spiritual...

Their line is gone out through all the earth,.... Not the line or writings in the book of the creatures, the heavens, and the earth, which lie open, and are legible, and to be seen and read of all men; nor the line and writings in the book of the Scriptures, called line upon line, and precept upon precept, Isaiah 28:13, which, though first given...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a Strongman to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof: The sun has his place, and keeps it, so let us keep ours. The sun is...

His going forth is from the end of the heaven,.... From the east, where it rises: and his circuit to the ends of it; to the west, where it sets; which is expressive of the large compass the Gospel administration took in the times of the apostles; whereby the grace of God appeared to all men, shone out in a very illustrious manner, and Christ...

The law of the Lord [is] perfect,.... By which is meant, not the law of Moses, or the ten commandments, but the "doctrine" of the Lord; as the word תורה, "torah", signifies, even the whole word of God, as in Isaiah 8:20. All the Scriptures of truth, which are profitable for doctrine; for setting doctrine in a clear light, and for the vindication...

The statutes of the Lord [are] right,.... The word of God may be called "statutes", or "visitations" (d) because that God will visit, in a way of resentment, such persons as despise its authority, do not act according to it, or add unto it, or detract from it; or the word may be rendered "commissions" (e), things committed to trust, as the...

The fear of the Lord [is] clean,.... Still the word of God is intended, which teaches men to fear the Lord; gives a full account of the worship of God, which is often meant by the fear of God; it instructs in the matter and manner of worship; and nothing more powerfully engages to serve the Lord with reverence and godly fear than the Gospel does:...

More to be desired [are they] than gold,.... This refers to all the truths in the word of God; to all the doctrines of the Gospel; which, by good men, are more desirable, and by them more prized and valued, than all worldly riches and treasure; yea, than much fine gold: more than gold, and the best of gold, and a great deal of it, than thousands...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Or, the very best gold. No riches can so enrich the mind and heart as the Word of God does.

Moreover, by them is thy servant warned,.... By whom the psalmist means himself, who was the servant of the Lord, not only in common with other saints, but as he was a king and prophet, and as such he received advantage from the word of God; all his instructions as a prophet, and all his rules of government as a king; and the whole of that wisdom,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors. While David is speaking of the Book that has no errors in it, he is reminded of his own errors; and they strike him as being so many that he cannot understand them. Every sin is really an error, a mistake, a blunder, as well as...
