Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 143:5

I remember the days of old; I meditate, etc. This meditation gives an ease to the overwhelming of my spirits, a comfort to the desolateness of my heart; for I am thinking sometimes upon Jonah, how he was overwhelmed with waters and swallowed up of a whale, and yet at last delivered; sometimes I am thinking of Joseph, how he was bound and left desolate in a pit, and yet at last relieved; and then I meditate thus with myself, —Is God's power confined to persons? could he deliver them in their extremities, and can he not deliver me in mine? —Sir Richard Baker.
