The Treasury of David
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
7. His only hope is in his God, but that is so strong a confidence that he
feels the Lord has but to arise and he is saved. It is enough for the
Lord to stand up, and all is well. He compares his enemies to wild beasts, and
he declares that God has broken their jaws, so that they could not injure him: thouhast broken the teeth of the ungodly. Or else he alludes to the special
temptations to which he was then exposed. They had spoken against him; God,
therefore, has smitten them upon the cheek bone. They seemed as
if they would devour him with their mouths; God has broken their teeth, and let
them say what they will, their toothless jaws will not be able to devour him.
Rejoice, O believer: you have to do with a dragon whose head is broken, and
with enemies whose teeth are dashed from their jaws!
