1 Chronicles 22:18 — Savior had been tempted in the wilderness, angels came and ministered unto him. Do you know what that experience is when there seem to be angels upstairs, and downstairs, and all through the house, ministering to you, and your life seems set to a gentle psalm tune, and instead of the sound of the trumpet calling you to battle, there is only the dulcet music of an instrument of ten strings praising the God who has given you rest? So, when the question is put, "Is not the Lord your God with you?" you can

Psalms 102:1-13 — Note amablemente el título de este Salmo: «Oración de los afligidos, cuando se siente abrumado y marcar su queja ante el Señor. »Les llamo su atención a ella para recordarle qué cargos hay en la vida de un creyente. Aquí, en el 102 ° Salmo, el Santo

Psalms 108:7 — God Hath Spoken! Rejoice! October 12, 1876 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth." Psalms 108:7 . There is an old promise, concerning God's people,

Psalms 14:6 — Are You Mocked? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Sermon (No. 3512) Published on Thursday, May 18th, 1916. Delivered by C. H. SPURGEON, At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington. ON Lord's-day

Psalms 31:24 — royal tomb, and saying, as the result of his own happy experience, "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord." I. In considering this text, I would first of all bid you notice AN APPROVED COMPANY, to whom the psalmist is speaking: "all ye that hope in the Lord." We must not regard all parts of the Bible as alike addressed to every individual. It has many messages to all the sons of Adam, but there are certain portions of it which are enclosed, and belong

Psalms 51:1-14 — ofrecerán a los bueyes al altar. . Seguro que serán buenos momentos en que los hombres están bajo un sentido de pecado perdonado. Ninguno le sirve tan bien como aquellos cuyos pecados se lavan quienes se sienten lo mismo dentro. Ahora, leeremos el 32 nd psalm. Esta exposición consistió en lecturas de Salmos 51, 32.

Psalms 68:19-20 — very much, until it becomes a load. Have you never known what it is to be bowed right down with such goodness? I have, I freely confess it I have desired to praise him, but a sense of love so bowed me down that I could only adopt the language of the psalmist and say, "Praise is silent for thee, O God, in Zion." It seemed as if "words were but air, and tongues but clay, and his compassion's so divine," that it was impossible to speak of them. His mercies, as our hymn said just now, come as think and

Song of Solomon 2:16-17 — Over the Mountains by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "My Beloved is mine, and I am His: He feeds among the lilies. Until the day breaks, and the shadows flee away; turn, my Beloved, and be like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether."

Isaiah 5:1 — we did not know him, we were dead in trespasses and sins. Perhaps we joined in sacred song, but we mocked the Lord. We stood up with his people, and we uttered the same sounds as they did, but our hearts were far from him. Let us blush for those mock psalms; let us shed many a tear of repentance that we could so insincerely have come before the Lord Most High. After that, we were led to feel our state by nature, and our guilt lay heavy upon us. We could not sing to our well-beloved then. Our music

Isaiah 63:11-14 — history of the church is written, there will be nothing on the page but God. I know that her sin is recorded; but he hath blotted that out; and at the end, there will remain nothing but what God has done. When your life and mine shall ring out as a psalm amid the harps of glory, it will be only, "Unto him that loved us and laved us, be glory and dominion for ever and ever." " Non nobis, Donine. " "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory." So will sing all of us who are the

Matthew 11:27-28 — Powerful Persuasives March 9th, 1916 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal

Matthew 5:3 — easy yoke from which they have no wish to be released; to give God all the glory is no burden to them, to cease from self is no hard command. The, place of lowliness suits them, the service of humiliation they count an honour; they can say with the psalmist (Psalm CXXXI.2) "Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child" Self-denial and humility, which are duties of Christ's kingdom, are easy only to, those who are poor in spirit.

John 20:27 — strong, study much the story of your Saviour's death. Read it: read it: read it: read it. "Tolle: lege," said the voice to Augustine, "Take it: read it." So say I. Take the four evangelists; take the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah; take the twenty-second psalm; take all other parts of Scripture that relate to our suffering Substitute, and read them by day and by night, till you familiarize yourself with the whole story of his griefs and sin-hearing. Keep your mind intently fixed upon it; not sometimes,

Acts 13:36 — concerning him, when preaching at Antioch, that he "saw corruption." The key to this apparent contradiction is the fact that David did not speak of himself, but of his Lord. Peter, in his memorable sermon on the day of Pentecost, quotes the words of the psalmist, applies them to his risen Redeemer, and distinctly affirms that, in the Psalm, "David speaketh concerning him." The argument of the apostle is this. David could not have meant himself when he said, "Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy One to see

Galatians 1:11 — possible to mere men. Would one who doubts this write us a fifth Gospel? Would anyone among our poets attempt to write a new Psalm, which could be mistaken for a Psalm of David? I do not see why he could not, but I am sure he cannot. You can give us new psalmody, for it is an instinct of the Christian life to sing the praises of God; but you cannot match the glory of divinely-inspired song. Therefore we receive the Scripture, and consequently the gospel as not after man. The gospel, our gospel, is beyond

Galatians 1:4-5 — Beloved? Then, let us begin to glorify God now. Let us glorify his dear Son, let us praise him. Let every beat of our heart tell out our joyous thankfulness, and so continually yield sweet music unto God. I would that every breath were like a verse of a psalm, and our whole life an endless hallelujah to his glory. "I would begin the music here, And so my soul should rise: Oh for some heavenly notes to bear My passions to the skies;" for it is indeed a subject of great praise to be separated from the

Judges 6:4-22 — inscription declares that “Jehovah is our peace.” Blessed be his name this day. We have entered on the battles of peace, for the Lord God is with us, and with his people we will go forth to win the peace which he has promised. It was a psalm in two words; it was a song of one verse, infinitely sweet. “Jehovah-shalom”: the Lord our peace. Moreover, it was a prayer, as the margin puts it “Jehovah, send peace.” If you have peace with God, let your next prayer

1 John 2:6 — and of the mind, and comes to desire that which God desires, and therefore it is that he wins the desire of his heart. But, oh, the pleasure, the joy, the bliss of delighting in God! How many times have I sung to myself that last dear stanza of the psalm, wherein the inspired poet sings "For yet I know I shall him praise, Who graciously to me, The health is of my countenance, Yea, mine own God is he." Oh, what a pleasure! "Mine own God is he." Rich men glory in wealth, famous men in valour, great

1 John 4:10 — waters." He can do it at once. He restoreth now. He is a restoring God. "He restoreth my soul." He brings my wandering spirit back when I forsake his ways; and having done that, he leads me, even more carefully than before, for a second time we have the psalmist's declaration, "He leadeth me." Though death's shadow hovers all around me, and damps my spirit, though I feel as though I must die, and cannot bear up under present trial any longer, "Yea, though I walk," for I do walk I will not quicken my

1 John 4:16 — "We know and believe the love that God hath to us." "Ah," says one "we have sometimes doubted it." No, I will leave that. You may insert it in your confession, but I will not put it into my song. Confess your doubts, but write them not in this our psalm of praise. I am sure, in looking back, you will say, "Oh how foolish I was ever to doubt a faithful and unchanging God." Bring all your doubts and fears this day; hew them in pieces like Agag before the Lord, let not one escape; take them and hang
