The Treasury of David
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
6. Yet. Despite your malice, despite your tumultuous
gatherings, despite the wisdom of your counsels, despite the craft of your
lawgivers, I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. Is not that a
grand exclamation! He has already done that which the enemy seeks to prevent.
While they are proposing, he has disposed the matter. Jehovah’s will is done,
and man’s will frets and raves in vain. God’s Anointed is appointed, and shall
not be disappointed. Look back through all the ages of infidelity, hearken to
the high and hard things which people have spoken against the Most High, listen
to the rolling thunder of earth’s volleys against the Majesty of heaven, and
then think that God is saying all the while, Yet have I set my king upon myholy hill of Zion. Yet Jesus reigns, yet he sees of the travail of his
soul, and “his suffering kingdom shall yet come” when he takes to himself his great power, and reigns from the river to
the ends of the earth. Even now he reigns in Zion, and our glad lips sound the
praises of the Prince of Peace. Greater conflicts may be here foretold, but we
may be confident that victory will be given to our Lord and King. Glorious
triumphs are yet to come; hasten them, we pray thee, O Lord! It is Zion’s glory
and her joy that her King is in her, guarding her from foes and filling her
with good things. Jesus sits upon the throne of grace, and the throne of power
in the midst of his church. In him is Zion’s best safeguard; let her citizens
be glad in him.
