Psalm 20
May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; May the name
of the God of Jacob defend you. May
He send you help from the sanctuary, And strengthen you out
of Zion; May He remember all your
offerings, And accept your burnt offerings. May He grant you according to your
heart's desire, And fulfill all your purpose. We
will rejoice in your salvation and in the name
of our God we will set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord saves His
anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With
the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots (tanks) and
some in horses (missiles) (emphasis added); but we will remember the name of
the Lord our God. They have bowed down and fallen, But
we have risen and stand upright. Save, Lord! May the King answer us when
we call.
How wonderful are the promises of the Lord! All we
need to do is trust in Him. He will answer us in the day of
trouble. We have his assurances, his saving work. Some trust in Chariots
(tanks) and horses (missiles) but our trust and hope is
in the Lord. Details of history change, but God stays the same.
Sometimes our trust wavers, but His promises never do. So rejoice
and always trust in the strength of His right hand.
