Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 10:16

The Eternal Kingship of Jehovah.

Verse 17 (first clause).

I. The Christian's character — "humble."

II. An attribute of the Christian's whole life —"desire:" he desires more holiness, communion, knowledge, grace, and usefulness; and then he desires glory.

III. The Christian's great blessedness —"Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble."

Verse 17 (whole verse).

I. Consider the nature of gracious desires.

II. Their origin.

III. Their result.

The three sentences readily suggest these divisions, and the subject may be very profitable.
