Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 145:11

The glory of Christ's kingdom. The glory of this kingdom is manifested,

1. In its origin.

2. In the manner and spirit of its administration.

3. In the character of its subjects.

4. In the privileges that are attached to it. —Robert Hall.

Verses 11-12. Talk transfigured.

1. The faculty of talk is extensively possessed.

2. Is commonly misused.

3. May be nobly employed.

4. Will then be gloriously useful. —C. A. D.

Verses 11-13. To show the greatness of God's kingdom, David observes,

1. The pomp of it. Would we by faith look within the veil, we should "speak of the glory of his kingdom" (Ps 145:11); "and the glorious majesty of it" (Ps 145:12).

2. The power of it. When "they speak of the glory of God's kingdom", they must "talk of his power", the extent of it, the efficacy of it.

3. The perpetuity of it (Ps 145:13). The thrones of earthly princes totter, and the flowers of their crowns wither, monarchs come to an end; but, Lord, "thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom." —Matthew Henry.
