Praise to the Lord Who Rules with Uprightness (Psalm 9) | Charles Spurgeon
from Reformed Thinking · host Edison Wu
Deep Dive into The Treasury of David by Charles Spurgeon - Psalm 9Divine justice is revealed through judgments that are singularly wise and just, ensuring that the wicked become their own executioners by being snared in the work of their own hands. This method allows men to read their sin in their punishment, as their malicious projects, like Haman's gallows or self-dug pitfalls, lead inevitably to their own ruin. The final, inescapable judgment is reserved for the wicked, including the numerous forgetters of God—the moral but undevout—who shall be hurled headlong into hell, a sulphurous, fiery lake of eternal wrath. Forgetfulness of God, though seemingly a small sin, brings eternal condemnation.In contrast to the fate of the wicked, believers find safety and are called to praise God with their whole heart in a spirit of gladness and holy mirth. The appropriate spirit for praise often manifests as a sudden outburst of song accompanying gospel revivals. David’s ultimate objective in seeking God’s mercy is not selfish relief, but God’s glory, so that he may show forth all marvelous works and magnify grace.Absolute trust in God is founded upon knowing His name, which represents an experimental acquaintance with His attributes. This essential knowledge anchors the soul in peril and defeats unbelief, which is rooted in ignorance of God. God’s impartial justice is demonstrated by His unwavering commitment to maintain the right of the believer, whose better motto is, "Thou hast maintained it."Psalm 9, a triumphal hymn likely compiled in its present, divinely inspired order, echoes the praise of God's name from Psalm 8. Its title mystically celebrates the victory of the Son of God over evil, encouraging believers to celebrate the Redeemer's conquest. Together, singing praises and declaring His doings are the two primary occupations that glorify God in Zion.Reformed Theologian GPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-XXwzX1gnv-reformed-theologianhttps://buymeacoffee.com/edi2730
