Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 138:5

This is spoken of kings, but it is true of the humblest pilgrims. The Lord hath respect unto the lowly, and will make them sing.

1. They shall sing in the ways. a) They take pleasure in them. b) They do not go out of them to find pleasure. c) They sing as they proceed in service, in worship, in holiness, in suffering. d) They are in a case for singing. They have strength, safety, guidance, provision, comfort.

2. They sing of the ways of the Lord. a) Of God's ways to them. b) Of their way to God. They know whence they came out. They know where they are going. It is a good road; prophets went by it, and the Lord of the prophets. Therein we have good company, good accommodation, good prospects, good daylight.

3. They sing of the Lord of the way. His loving kindness. His truth. Answers to prayer. His condescension. His reviving us in trouble. His delivering us. His perfecting us. His everlasting mercy.

4. They shall sing to the Lord of the way. a) To his honour. b) To the extending of that honour. c) As a preparation to eternally honouring him.
