Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 119:136

Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, etc. Thus uniformly is the character of God's people represented not merely as those who are free from but as "those that sigh and cry for all the abominations that are done it, the midst of the land": Ezekiel 9:4 And who does not see what an enlarged sphere still presents itself on every side for the unrestrained exercise of Christian compassion? The appalling spectacle of a world apostatized from God, of multitudes sporting with everlasting destruction as if the God of heaven were "a man that he should lie" is surely to force "rivers of waters" from the hearts of those that are concerned his honour. What a mass of sin ascends as a cloud before the Lord, a single heart! Add the aggregate of a village a town a country a world! every day every hour every moment. Well might the "waters rise to an overflowing tide, ready to burst its barriers." Charles Bridges.
