Psalms 92:10

Psalms 92:10

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The holy oil.

We have here—

I. A VERY BLESSED THING SPOKEN OF. Under this emblem the Holy Spirit is set forth ().

1. The holy oil told of was especially sacred. (See ; .)

2. It enobled those on whom it was poured. Constituting them prophets, princes, priests.

3. It invigorated and empowered for high service. This is especially true of the Holy Spirit ().

4. It was a bond of union. (, .) And so the Holy Spirit (; ).

5. It is gladdening. (; .)

6. Illuminating. (1 .)

7. Sweetly fragrant. (.) In all these and yet other respects did the holy oil tell of the blessed Spirit of God.

II. A VERY JOYFUL CONFIDENCE EXPRESSED. "I shall be anointed," etc. He does not say, "I hope;" but he is sure of what he affirms. Now, the grounds of this confidence are:

1. That it rested on God. He could not have spoken thus had it been resting only on man.

2. We are united with Christ, the Anointed One. "Of his fulness we all receive."

3. The Holy Spirit dwells within us.

4. The promises of God. So full, numerous, clear, strong.

5. The experience of God's people in all ages. Daily strength has been given for daily need. Therefore we may well believe the text.

III. AN INVALUABLE HELP TO OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE PROMISED.

1. It banishes fear.

2. It inspires glad hope. Of usefulness in Christ's service continued. Of full attainment in grace. Of strength sufficient for all need.

IV. A PAINFUL CONTRAST SUGGESTED. The godless have no such hope. All that sustains them is fast running out, and there is no further supply. What shall they do in the end thereof? They will have had their good things, and there are no more.—S.C.
