Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 68 TITLE. To the Chief Musician, a Psalm or Song of David . We have already said enough upon this title when dealing with Psalms 65 and 66. The present is obviously a song to be sung at the removal of the ark; and in all probability was rehearsed when David c... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 69 TITLE. To the Chief Musician upon the lilies. Thus for the second time we have a Psalm entitled "upon the lilies." In the forty-first they were golden lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh, and blooming in the fair gardens which skirt the ivory palaces. In... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 70 TITLE. To the Chief Musician, A Psalm of David. So far the title corresponds with Psalm 40, of which this is a copy with variations. David appears to have written the full length Psalm, and also to have made this excerpt from it, and altered it to suit the... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 71 TITLE. There is no title to this Psalm, and hence some have conjecture that Psalm 70 is intended to be a prelude to it, and has been broken off from it. Such imaginings have no value with us. We have already met with five Psalms without title, which are, n... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 72 TITLE. A Psalm of Solomon. It is pretty certain that the title declares Solomon to be the author of the Psalm, and yet from verse 20 it would seem that David uttered it in prayer before he died. With some diffidence we suggest that the spirit and matter of... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 74 TITLE. A maschil of Asaph. An instructive Psalm by Asaph.

Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 75 TITLE. To the Chief Musician. Here is noble work for him, for the cry of the last Psalm is about to be heard, and the challenge of the foes of Israel taken up by God himself. Here the virgin daughter of Zion despises her foe, and laughs him to scorn. The d... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 76 TITLE. To the Chief Musician on Neginoth. The Precentor is here instructed to perform this song to the music of stringed instruments.

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 77 TITLE. To the Chief Musician, to Jeduthun. It was fit that another leader of the psalmody should take his turn. No harp should be silent in the courts of the Lord's house. A Psalm of Asaph. Asaph was a man of exercised mind, and often touched the minor key... Read More

Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 78 TITLE. Maschil of Asaph. This is rightly entitled an instructive Psalm. It is not a mere recapitulation of important events in Israelitish history, but is intended to be viewed as a parable setting forth the conduct and experience of believers in all ages.... Read More

Preface To Volume 4, Psalms 79-103
Preface to Volume 4, Psalms 79-103 The work of compiling notes from this volume may be judged from the fact that I wrote a brilliant teacher for some assistance in my research on Psalm 103. I received the following note. "I have hunted through my books and was surprised to find that with the excepti... Read More

Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 79 TITLE AND SUBJECT. A Psalm of Asaph. A Psalm of complaint such as Jeremiah might have written amid the ruins of the beloved city. It evidently treats of times of invasion, oppression, and national overthrow. Asaph was a patriotic poet, and was never more a... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 80 Title. To the Chief Musician upon Shoshannim Eduth. For the fourth time we have a song upon Shoshannim, or the lilies; the former ones being Psalms 45, 60, and 69. Why this title is given it would be difficult to say in every case, but the delightfully poe... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 81 TITLE. To the Chief Musician upon Gittith. Very little is known of the meaning of this title. We have given the best explanation known to us in connection with Psalm 8 in Vol. 1 of this work. If it be intended to indicate a vintage song, it speaks well for... Read More

Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 82 TITLE AND SUBJECT. A Psalm of Asaph. This poet of the temple here acts as a preacher to the court and to the magistracy. Men who do one thing well are generally equal to another; he who writes good verse is not unlikely to be able to preach. What preaching... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 83 TITLE. A Psalm or Song of Asaph. This is the last occasion upon which we shall meet with this eloquent writer.

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 84 TITLE AND SUBJECT. To the Chief Musician upon Gittith. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. This Psalm well deserved to be committed to the noblest of the sons of song. No music could be too sweet for its theme, or too exquisite in sound to match the beauty of i... Read More

Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 85 OBJECT AND OCCASION. It is the prayer of a patriot for his afflicted country, in which he pleads the Lord's former mercies, and by faith foresees brighter days. We believe that David wrote it, but many question that assertion. Certain interpreters appear t... Read More

Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 86 TITLE. A Prayer of David. We have here one of the five psalms entitled Tephillahs or prayers. This psalm consists of praise as well as prayer, but it is in all parts so directly addressed to God that it is most fitly called "a prayer." A prayer is none the... Read More
