Preface To Volume 7, Psalms 125-150
Preface to Volume 7, Psalms 125-150 At the end of all these years, the last page of this Commentary is printed, and the seventh preface is requested. This demand sounds strange in my ears. A preface when the work is done? It is only nominally a preface--it is really a farewell. I introduce my closin... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 125 Title. A Song of Degrees. Another step is taken in the ascent, another station in the pilgrimage is reached: certainly a rise in the sense is here perceptible, since full assurance concerning years to come is a higher form of faith than the ascription of ...

This is the seventh step, and we may therefore expect to meet with some special perfection of joy in it; nor shall we look in vain.

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 127 Title. A Song of Degrees for Solomon. It was meet that the builder of the holy house should be remembered by the pilgrims to its sacred shrine. The title probably indicates that David wrote it for his wise son, in whom he so greatly rejoiced, and whose na... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 128 Title. A Song of Degrees. There is an evident ascent from the last Psalm: that did but hint at the way in which a house may be built up, but this draws a picture of that house built, and adorned with domestic bliss through the Lord's own blessing. There i... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 129 TITLE. A Song of Degrees. I fail to see how this is a step beyond the previous Psalm; and yet it is clearly the song of an older and more tried individual, who looks back upon a life of affliction in which he suffered all along, even from his youth. Inasm... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 130 TITLE. A Song of Degrees. It would be hard to see any upward step from the preceding to the present Psalm, and therefore it is possible that the steps or ascents are in the song itself. Certainly it does rise rapidly out of the depths of anguish, to the h... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 131 TITLE. A Song of Degrees of David. It is both by David and of David: he is the author and the subject of it, and many incidents of his life may be employed to illustrate it. Comparing all the Psalms to gems, we would liken this to a pearl—how beautifully ... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 132 TITLE. A Song of Degrees. A joyful song indeed: let all pilgrims to the New Jerusalem sing it often. The degrees or ascents are very visible; the theme ascends step by step from "afflictions" to a "crown", from "remember David", to, "I will make the horn ... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 133 TITLE. A Song of Degrees of David. We see no reason for depriving David of the authorship of this sparkling sonnet. He knew by experience the bitterness occasioned by divisions in families, and was well prepared to celebrate in choicest Psalmody the bless... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 134 TITLE. A Song of Degrees. We have now reached the last of the Gradual Psalms. The Pilgrims are going home, and are singing the last song in their Psalter. They leave early in the morning, before the day has fully commenced, for the journey is long for man... Read More

Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 135 GENERAL REMARKS. This Psalm has no title. It is mainly made up of selections from other Scriptures. It has been called a mosaic , and compared to a tessellated pavement. At the outset, its first two verses are taken from Psalm 134:1-3; while the latter pa... Read More

Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 136 We know not by whom this Psalm was written, but we do know that it was sung in Solomon's temple (2 Chronicles 7:3,6), and by the armies of Jehoshaphat when they sang themselves into victory in the wilderness of Tekoa. From the striking form of it we shoul... Read More

Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 137 This plaintive ode is one of the most charming compositions in the whole Book of Psalms for its poetic power. If it were not inspired, it would nevertheless occupy a high place in poesy, especially the former portion of it, which is tender and patriotic t... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 138 TITLE. A Psalm of David. This Psalm is wisely placed. Whoever edited and arranged these sacred poems, he had an eye to apposition and contrast; for if in Psalm 137:1-9 we see the need of silence before revilers, here we see the excellence of a brave confe...

Treasury of David
Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 139 One of the most notable of the sacred hymns. It sings the omniscience and omnipresence of God, inferring from these the overthrow of the powers of wickedness, since he who sees and hears the abominable deeds and words of the rebellious, will surely deal w...

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 140 This Psalm is in its proper place, and so fitly follows Psalm 139 that you might almost read right on, and make no break between the two. Serious injury would follow to the whole Book of Psalms if the order should be interfered with as certain wiseacres p... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 141 TITLE. A Psalm, Of David. Yes, David under suspicion, half afraid to speak lest he should speak unadvisedly while trying to clear himself; David slandered and beset by enemies; David censured even by saints, and taking it kindly; David deploring the condi...

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 143 TITLE. A Psalm of David. It is so much like other Davidic psalms, that we accept the title without a moment's hesitation.
