Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Psalms 34:6

A Poor Man's Cry, and What Came of It March 8th, 1891 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles." Psalms 34:6 . In the morning of last Lord's-day we labored to bring sinners to their God; and the Lord graciously made the Word effectual. We gave voice to the invitation to return, and we entreated men to take with them words, and turn unto the Lord. God's people found it a happy time. It is a very singular fact, but an... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 34:1-22

Psalms 34:1-22 Psalms 34:1-22 is a psalm of David when he, it says, "changed his behavior, before Abimelech." Actually, it is probably the case of when he had gone down and Abimelech or Achish the king who drove him away and departed. Now David, when he was fleeing from Saul, Saul was trying to kill him, he fled into the land of the Philistines and he was brought to the Philistine king, Achish. And suddenly David thought, "Hey, here I am, and the Philistines hate me," because he had killed... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 34:1-22

Psalms 34:6 . This poor man cried. David, a prince yesterday, was poor to-day; an exile among his enemies, and destitute of friends. Yesterday, Saul sought his life, and now the friends of Goliath ask for his blood. This may represent a sinner pursued by death, or the sword. While among the Philistines, the men of the world, they take counsel to destroy him. He has no friend, no deliverer but the Lord. Faith and prayer are his only resources, and the Lord who saved David from the hands of... read more

Psalms 34:3-7O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.A testimony meeting“God’s praises sound best in concert.” The praise that lifts its voice in solitude is beautiful, but it is far more beautiful when heard in communion with the praise of one’s fellows. Each instrument in the orchestra is enriched by the co-operation of the others. Each member in a chorus has his discernment sharpened, and his zeal intensified by the remaining members. So in the orchestra of praise. My... read more

Psalms 34:6-7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him.Supernatural factor in prayerThe most dangerous doctrine concerning prayer is that current philosophy of the matter which presents a half-truth only; allowing the subjective value, but denying all objective efficacy to prayer--i.e. admitting a benefit, as attached to a devout habit, but limiting the benefit to the working of natural results entirely within the suppliant. The text affirms a positive advantage in prayer. Jehovah is... read more
