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.

I don’t usually sit down and read a commentary through, but I enjoyed going through Spuergon’s writings as part of my devotions. Each pls was broken down very thoroughly and in a thought-provoking manner. I look forward to hopefully reading the rest!

I am teaching through the Psalms on Wednesday evenings at my congregation where I minister. Spurgeon has been at hand each week as I work through each psalm. While Spurgeon's comments are usually beneficial, his survey of other writers, many of them Puritans, offers even more in-depth exposition of each verse. Thanks to Spurgeon's work, I've been able to track down these other writers and the complete exposition they offer. There are also dozens, perhaps hundreds, of pithy statements peppered throughout the work. Here is just a small sample:

"Hypocritical piety is double iniquity" (216).
Concerning prayer: "Some repetitions are not vain repetitions" (244).
"We may have our own will when our will is God's will" (301).
"What God hates we must hate" (417).

A great supplement to the study of Psalms. Book 1 of The Treasury of David covers the first 26 Psalms. plenty of insight and practical applications from the Prince of Preachers. Quotes and highlights from many of the greatest theologians and preachers in the Church. Plenty of rich material to glean and a definite asset to anyone preaching through or simply studying the Psalms.

As dates reveal, I used this book as a guide for my daily devotional journey through the Psalms. It was an excellent source of commentary from great theologians, most prominently Spurgeon.
