Psalm 144

Christ All in All by Thomas Watson "Christ is all in all." Colossians 3:11 The philosopher says every science takes its dignity from the object; the more noble the object—the more rare the knowledge. Hence it is that Jesus Christ, being the most sublime and glorious object, that knowledge which lead... Read More

The Righteous Man's Weal; and the Wicked Man's Woe by Thomas Watson "Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. Woe to the wicked ! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done." Isaiah 3:10-11 This text is like Israel'... Read More

Treasury of David Charles Spurgeon PSALM 144 Albeit that this Psalm is in some measure very similar to Psalm 18—yet it is a new song, and in its latter portion it is strikingly so. Let the reader accept it as a new psalm, and not as a mere variation of an old one, or as two compositions roughly join... Read More

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

The Divine Presence, an Antidote to Fear! William Nicholson, 1862 "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand!" Isaiah 41:10 The promises of God are a rich inheritance to his red... Read More

Human Life a Vapor! Edward Griffin, 1807 "Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes!" James 4:14 This moral reflection was introduced by the apostle to reprove those calculations and forms of speech which... Read More

I proceed now to the second aphorism or conclusion, that the godly are in some sense already blessed. The saints are blessed not only when they are apprehended by God, but while they are travellers to glory. They are blessed before they are crowned. This seems a paradox to flesh and blood. What, rep... Read More

Blessed are the poor in spirit. Matthew 5:3 Having done with the occasion, I come now to the sermon itself. Blessed are the poor in spirit'. Christ does not begin his Sermon on the Mount as the Law was delivered on the mount, with commands and threatenings, the trumpet sounding, the fire flaming, th... Read More
