About the author

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian, John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues, Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.

It took a year, but what an inestimable companion for 2020-2021! This volume covered Psalm 58 through Psalm 110.

Gems are besprinkled throughout the text: the sound "how long" is very akin to howling. And...Waiting is nothing else but hope and trust lengthened. — John Trapp

Spurgeon's commentary on Psalm 101 is pure gold:
Piety must begin at home... Reader, how fares it with your family? Do you sing in the choir and sin in the chamber? Are you a saint abroad and a devil at home? For shame! What we are at home, that we are indeed.

A huge help for me was seeing the relationship between different psalms. Especially wonderful was comparing Psalm 98 to Mary's Magnificat.

There were some startling declarations (no musical instruments in church - so strange a commentary on the, um, *psalter*) and the typical "anti-papist" sentiment, but I could overlook those.

The Treasury of David is a 7 volume commentary on the Book of Psalms composed and compiled by Charles H. Spurgeon. Mr Spurgeon begins his commentary of each Psalm with a verse by verse commentary of his own thoughts, meditations, and Biblical exposition followed by a verse by verse running commentary of quotes, comments and sermon snippets from many of the giants of the faith. Each Psalm is then for a third time commented on with verse by verse "Hints to Preachers". I do not believe you will find many better commentaries of the Book of Psalms and this source is a treasury of knowledge as advertised. I think that all 7 volumes should be a part of any preachers library and am thoroughly enjoying using them as a supplement to a year long study through the Psalms. You can find these books on the cheap on line and because of their antiquity should be able to find free PDF's of the entire 7 volumes if you simply dig a little. Get these! You won't be disappointed!
